Ingredients
lapsang souchong tea,loose or sachet
filtered water
ice,for cold brew, optional
Preparation
Boil filtered water until it reaches 208 degrees F.
Swirl a bit of the boiled water around in a teapot. Once the teapot is warm to the touch, throw the water out.
Put lapsang souchong tea into teapot and add hot water.
Cover teapot and steep for 5 minutes. Keep the teapot covered while it steeps so the water stays hot.
Strain lapsang souchong leaves and pour hot tea into a teacup.
Put lapsang souchong tea and cool or room temperature water in a pitcher or glass container.
Cover pitcher and put in refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
Strain lapsang souchong tea leaves and pour tea into a cup with ice. Cold-brewed tea is already chilled, so there’s no need to add ice unless desired.
