Green tea cold drink recipe??

Hi,





I have some good quality green tea leaves that are from China. Can anyone give me a recipe on how to prepare it, but in a "cold drink" as I would drink it more that way.





I already know how to prepare it hot.





Thank you.

Green tea cold drink recipe??
Ingredients


2 quarts bottled spring water or filtered water


¼ cup loose green tea leaves or 8 standard green tea bags


Sugar to taste


2 lemons, thinly sliced





Instructions


1. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a teakettle. Put tea leaves in a deep, heatproof bowl or large teapot. As soon as the water begins to boil, remove from heat and cool to the optimum temperature for the variety of green tea that you’re using (see headnote). Pour over tea leaves, stir, and let stand 1 to 2 minutes.


2. Strain liquid through a fine wire-mesh sieve or coffee filter into a pitcher. Sweeten to taste before cooling. If you’re not sweetening the tea, cool completely and serve over ice with sweeteners, lemon and mint passed separately. Yield: 2 quarts (10 servings).





Sometimes using liquid sugar sweetens it the best.
Reply:You boil water and then let the leaves steep for awhile. If you want it cold you put it in the fridge for a couple hours.
