How to prepare a cold brew?
It is the classic infusion of a few minutes with hot water at 95°. Our advice is to add a little cold water to the teapot: this prevents a thermal shock to the herbs. Once cooled, fresh herbs, lemon slices or chopped fruit can be added. The infusion is best served chilled with a few ice cubes.
