"Cold steeping tea creates a smoother and less bitter final tea, plus it’s great for summer! This is a basic recipe for cold brew tea using two different, but very similar methods—and you can add other fruit and herbs for more flavor. I prefer high quality loose leaf teas, but you can also use tea bags. I would recommend these methods for green, white (oolong), black, fruit, or herbal teas. Brewing times vary for different kinds of tea: For example, green tea needs less time (2 - 4 hr.) than black tea (4 - 8 hr.) and oolong needs up to 10 hr., while herbal teas taste the best anywhere between 12 - 14 hr. Tea bags require less time and only need to be steeped for only 1 - 3 hr."
