Choose Your Tea

Select your favorite tea type: black, green, white, oolong, herbal, or rooibos. For a stronger flavor, use more tea bags or a longer steep time. Black and herbal teas work especially well with fruit add-ins.

Fill Your Container

In a quart-sized mason jar, pitcher, or any food-safe container, add 4–6 tea bags (or loose leaf tea in a mesh infuser). Pour in 4 cups of cold, filtered water.

Customize the Flavor (Optional)

Add extras like citrus slices, fresh herbs, or berries to infuse subtle flavors while it steeps. You can also sweeten the tea now, or wait and adjust it to taste after it’s brewed.

Steep in the Refrigerator

Cover the container and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.

For lighter teas (white, green), 6–8 hours is ideal.

For stronger teas (black, herbal), go up to 12 hours for full flavor.

Strain and Serve

Remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea and fruit/herbs. Taste and add sweetener if desired.

Store and Enjoy

Keep the tea refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 4 days. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh fruit or herbs if desired.
