Cold brewing tea is a tea-making method that involves steeping tea leaves in cold water for an extended period of time. Compared to traditional hot brewing with mineral water, cold brewing tea offers a gentler method of tea extraction, allowing for the extraction of natural nutrients from the tea leaves without producing a bitter or astringent taste.
