Ways to Make Tea Concentrate

If you are preparing a concentrated cup of loose leaf green oolong, add about 1 teaspoon of loose leaf green oolong to each ounce of water. The proportions are a little different for bigger quantities; they are a little different for different kinds of tea. If you are using a quarter of a mason jar worth of white tea as the base for brewing a tea-based drink, you should add a third of a cup of fresh tea leaves to each quart. The amount of tea leaves that you need depends on the type of tea that you are using.

Cold Brew Method

Using the cold brew method to make tea is really beneficial for all kinds of teas, but it’s better for stronger teas. Just measure out the tea you want to make, and then place it in the freezer for a few days and let it sit for a while.

Because of the steeping time,  it will be great when you steep your tea in cold water if you leave it to steep for a little longer. You could even boil more water to make more tea. Bonus: You could make more tea by simply adding more sugar to the concentrate.

Instant Pot Method

The time it takes for a tea to be brewed is extremely crucial, so let it simmer naturally for four minutes. If you quickly release it, the temperature in the pot will rise rapidly and cause you to drink all the tea leaves that you’ve made. If that happens, the tea will become very bland. If you let your tea slow down with a natural release. it will prevent it from boiling.

If you decide to add a little sugar to your tea concentrate, add more than you’re used to. This is because it will be diluted when you add the water later. If you make tea concentrate that will fit eight cups of tea, sweeten it an extra 8 times that you would sweeten a regular cup of brewed tea.

Kettle Method

If you are brewing a lot of tea, you will have to put a pot on the stove to heat water, not a tea kettle to boil water. You can also use a regular tea kettle to make up as many cups of tea as you want. Steep tea the way you would, depending on the type of tea you are using and the time you set it to. When the leaves are tender, sift them to remove any stray leaves. Take it out and let it sit in a cold place until the fever has passed. You can keep the tea concentrate in your fridge for a week.

Any kind of strong tea that you like will work, so choose a tea that you enjoy! If a nasty cold is brewing, you can easily put together a big batch to brew a warm cup of herbal tea. Then, when the cold is over, you can simply take a hot bath or go to bed.

Adding Fruits to Tea Concentrate

Of course! Put the fruits or the herbs on a serving platter or in a bowl and put some hot water to simmer. Use spoons to mash up the fresh ingredients. This will help them retain the flavor. After you make the fresh ingredients, let them infuse in the concentrate and leave it for some hours. If you desire, strain your tea just prior to putting it in a container to store.
