Kumquat and lemon cold brew tea and lemon and mint cucumber water are both "cold brew" beverages, which is very simple to make. Just throw all the ingredients into a mug, add cold water/tea, and refrigerate!

The "cold brew" method comes from cold brew tea, which is tea that is steeped in cold water and then chilled in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours.

The bitter taste of tea comes from theophylline, which is less likely to be released in cold water, so cold-brewed tea is not only less bitter but lighter and more flavorful~The amount of tea leaves/tea bags put in cold-brewed tea should be more than that put in hot water.
