cold brewed tea

for years we have been making sun tea, but i found a new product on one of my trips up north in michigan called twinings cold brewed iced tea.  i really didn't believe that it would work, but within five minutes, i had fresh brewed tea that i served over ice. i simply added the tea bags into cold water and watched the tea brew right on my kitchen counter.

twinings suggested using 4 tea bags per quart pitcher, however; i only used 2 per quart carafe, and that was plenty for me.  i may even just use one tea bag the next time, as i prefer lightly brewed tea to decrease the caffeine intake.

so easy and so refreshing!
