Cold-brewed Tea Concentrate (Toddy)

FILL - The Toddy brewing container is designed to hold 1/2 lb. of loose tealeaves and (9) nine cups (72 fluid ounces) of water. Add (2) two cups of water into the bottom of the Toddy brewing container. When pouring the water over the grounds, the water should be added gently, in a circular motion, to make sure all the tea leaves get wet and there are no dry pockets. Then, add (1/4) quarter pound of tealeaves. Slowly pour (5) five cups of water over the tealeaves, then add the remaining (1/4) quarter pound of tealeaves. Finally, wait five minutes and slowly add (2) two cups of water. DO NOT STIR. Lightly tap the tea leaves with the back of a spoon to ensure all tea get wet. Allow to cold brew for 12 hours before draining.

BREW - We recommend that you cold-brew your tea leaves 12 hours to achieve maximum results. Remove the stopper and let tea concentrate flow into the glass decanter. Toddy's cold-brew process should yield (6) six cups (48 fluid ounces) of tea concentrate. The tea leaves absorb the balance of the water.

SERVE - The Toddy produces a pure, naturally low acid tea concentrate that may be refrigerated for up to 14 days without any deterioration in taste or freshness. And, importantly, there's no waste. Toddy can be made one cup at a time simply by adding steaming hot or cold water, milk or cream. It's also microwavable (do not boil concentrate). For a cup of fresh, steaming hot tea, simply add 1 part concentrate to 7 parts steaming water (or add cold water and microwave). For a glass of delicious iced tea, simply add milk or water, and serve over ice. One of the benefits of using the Toddy system is that you can mix to taste (make it as strong or as weak as you prefer).
