How do you brew cold black tea?

- Loose-leaf black tea or black tea bags

- Cold water

- A brewing container, such as a glass pitcher or mason jar

- A fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth

- Sweetener (optional)

- Milk (optional)

Instructions:

1. Measure the Tea: Use 2-3 teaspoons of loose-leaf black tea or 2-3 black tea bags for every cup of cold water.

2. Add Cold Water: Pour the cold water into the brewing container. Make sure the water is completely covering the tea leaves or tea bags.

3. Steep: Cover the brewing container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the tea steep for at least 8 hours or overnight. The longer it steeps, the stronger the tea will become.

4. Strain: After steeping, strain the tea into a clean container using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Discard the used tea leaves or tea bags.

5. **Add Sweetener (Optional): If desired, add sweetener to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener.

6. Add Milk (Optional): If you like milky tea, you can add milk to the cold black tea at this point. The amount of milk you add is up to your personal preference.

7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cold black tea until well-chilled. Serve over ice or enjoy it at room temperature.

Cold black tea is a refreshing and flavorful beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of snacks and meals. It's a great way to stay hydrated and enjoy the taste of tea without the heat.
