Organic Bamboo Tea Cold Brew Infusion 

by Lisa Lin | Healthy Nibbles & Bits 3 Comments

Iced Tea Cooler

I go through so many glasses of infused iced teas during the summer. It quenches my thirst and it’s so much more exciting than drinking plain water! Numi’s organic Bamboo tea is perfect for making infused tea coolers. The bamboo leaves, mint and lemongrass in the tea give off a crisp flavor with a bit of zing. I like infusing the bamboo tea with sliced strawberries and cucumber to give the drink natural sweetness without having to add any sugar.

As one of the most utilized and versatile plants on the planet, bamboo is highly regarded for its many benefits. In traditional Chinese medicine, bamboo leaf is dried and roasted like tea and sipped. Known for its fast growth and flexibility, bamboo contains vegetative silica, an abundant mineral found in healthy bones, nails, hair, and skin.

For this tea cooler, I’m using a cold brewing technique for making the tea. Essentially, I steep the tea in filtered water and refrigerate it overnight. The tea is going into the refrigerator anyway and cold brewing eliminates the step of having to boil water for the tea.

This infused tea cooler is the perfect refreshing drink for a hot summer day! Check out the recipe below.

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
