Cold Brew Jasmine Tea Even a Child Can Make

In Malaysia, where it is hot all year round, teas that can be brewed cold are popular, and jasmine tea is one of them. A surprising number of people do not know that jasmine tea works this way. When we hand them a glass of cold brewed jasmine to taste, they are startled, and they enjoy it more than we expect.

Cold brewing jasmine tea has the following advantages.

1. Bitterness and astringency are hardly extracted, so the tea is easy for children to drink and tastes clean.
2. No heat is involved, so the tea does not deteriorate at all and the taste and flavor come through fresh.
3. Kept in the refrigerator, it holds for several days.
4. Because no heat is used, the caffeine content stays low, which suits anyone who has trouble sleeping.

To cold brew jasmine tea, try the following method.

1. Always use water with the chlorine removed.
2. 5g of leaves per 1 litre of water.
3. Leave it in the refrigerator for several hours.
4. Taste it after a few hours. If it is too strong, add water. If it is too weak, extend the steeping time or add a few more leaves.
5. Once the strength is where you want it, take the leaves out.
6. Store it in the refrigerator.

Jasmine pearls come rolled into small beads. A few hours in water is enough for them to unfurl, and the liquor turns the pale yellow that is characteristic of jasmine tea. The flavor is very fresh, like the flower standing in front of you. The tea also feels smooth and gentle in the mouth.
