Author: Jee Choe, Tea Sommelier

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons English breakfast tea (or 3 tea bags)
  • 1 slice pineapple (1" slice) chopped
  • ⅓ lemon peeled
  • 4 leaves fresh mint torn
  • 3 cups water cold or room temperature
  • 1 slice jalapeno thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Put tea, pineapple, lemon, and torn mint into a glass container. Mash with a muddler.
  • Add water and jalapeno slice.
    Stir or shake to make sure all the ingredients are touching the water.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
  • Use a strainer to remove all solids.
    The tea, fruits, jalapeno, and mint should not be left in the drink more than 24 hours.
  • Serve with or without ice.
    Cold brew tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 more days.

Notes

  • A little jalapeno goes a LONG way, so start with just a tiny sliver, making sure not too much of the white pith is on the slice, since the white pith is where all the heat comes from.
