Tips for a Better Glass

  • Steep completely before adding milk. Letting the tea finish steeping in cold water ensures the full tea and lemonade flavor comes through cleanly.
  • Use oat or almond milk for extra smoothness. Plant-based milks blend effortlessly with cold brew tea for a silky texture.
  • Chill your glass ahead of time. A frosty glass keeps the ice from melting too quickly and preserves the crisp citrus notes.
