i’ve made tea with hot and cold water for decades
i can’t really say I notice a taste difference either way
but now i drink cold unsweetened tea , i let it sit in the fridge for hours to steep and get a nice flavor
I like tea unsweetened and cold. I will brew it warm and let it cool in the fridge. I worked with the Brits for a while and told Ian the Americans fought for independence because the Brits didnt use ice in their tea. Strong brown and British blend is my cup of tea. To hell with four oclock, its 24/7 with me :)
I was just wondering about this exact thing tonight. Do you use teabags? How much water per bag? How long do you have to wait?
