Quick answer
To brew Lavender Chamomile Cold Brew 64oz Pitcher Packs, use one pitcher pack per 64 ounces of cold water and steep in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours. This yields a smooth, caffeine-free floral iced tea that stays fresh for several days.
Why cold water and patience matter for chamomile
Cold brewing extracts chamomile's soft, apple-like notes and lavender's floral aroma without the bitterness that hot water can pull from herbs. It also means you never need to boil water or cool the tea down—just fill, chill, and wait.
The trade-off is time: you cannot rush this method. If you need tea in under an hour, cold brew is not the right choice; consider a hot brew over ice instead.
Choosing the right pitcher and water
A 64-ounce pitcher is the standard match for these pitcher packs. If your pitcher is slightly smaller, use a little less water to avoid overflow, but do not exceed 64 ounces or the tea will taste weak. Always start with cold, fresh water—filtered if your tap water has a strong taste—because the tea will absorb those flavors over the long steep.
Adjusting strength and serving temperature
For a more delicate tea, steep for 8 hours; for a deeper floral infusion, go up to 12 hours. Do not steep longer than 12 hours or the lavender can turn soapy. Serve over ice for a crisp finish, or chill further for a smoother, rounded flavor. This tea is naturally caffeine-free, so it works as an evening or anytime drink.
Step-by-step brewing and serving
- Fill your 64oz pitcher with cold water: Pour 64 ounces of cold, fresh water into a clean 64-ounce pitcher. Leave about an inch of headspace to avoid spills when adding the pack. Do not use hot water—it will extract bitterness from the herbs.
- Add one pitcher pack: Place one Lavender Chamomile Cold Brew Pitcher Pack directly into the water. There is no need to cut it open; the filter bag is designed for cold brewing. Make sure the pack is fully submerged so the water can circulate.
- Refrigerate and steep for 8–12 hours: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate. Set a timer for 8 hours for a lighter tea or 12 hours for a stronger floral flavor. Avoid steeping longer than 12 hours to prevent the lavender from becoming overpowering.
- Remove the pack and stir: Take the pitcher pack out of the water and gently stir the tea. Discard the pack or compost it if your local facility accepts tea bags. Squeezing the pack can release fine sediment; let it drip instead.
- Serve over ice and store leftovers: Pour over ice and enjoy. Store any remaining tea covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For parties, brew multiple pitchers ahead and keep them chilled; label caffeine-free so guests can choose confidently.
