Quick answer
Cold brew One in a Melon Tea in the fridge for 6–8 hours using 1 heaped teaspoon per 250 ml of cold water, then serve over ice with fresh melon or mint. This method keeps the green and white tea base smooth and lets the juicy melon notes shine.
Why cold brewing suits this fruity green and white tea
One in a Melon Tea blends green and white tea with melon and fruit flavours. Hot brewing can bring out tannins if you steep too long, but cold brewing extracts gently, so the cup stays light and refreshing. That makes it a natural fit for fruity tea cold brew, especially when you want a thirst-quenching pitcher for warm afternoons.
The trade-off is time: cold brew needs several hours in the fridge, so plan ahead. If you want a faster option, hot brew a concentrated batch, cool it quickly, and pour over plenty of ice. Cold brew is more forgiving if you forget it, while hot brewing gives you a quicker route to a strong, aromatic base for mixing.
Serving ideas that lift the melon flavour
Keep the serve simple so the tea’s fruit flavours stay clear. Pour the cold-brewed tea over cubed honeydew or watermelon, add a sprig of mint, and finish with a squeeze of lime. For a watermelon tea recipe, muddle a few chunks of watermelon in the glass before adding ice and tea—no extra sugar needed if the fruit is ripe.
If you want a sparkling version, cold brew the tea at double strength (2 teaspoons per 250 ml) and top with sparkling water just before serving. Avoid adding ice to the brewing jar; dilute the concentrate instead so the flavour doesn’t turn watery.
How to cold brew One in a Melon Tea
- Measure the tea: Add 1 heaped teaspoon (about 3 g) of One in a Melon Tea per 250 ml of cold, filtered water to a clean jar or pitcher. Use filtered water if your tap water is heavily chlorinated; it can mask the melon notes.
- Add cold water and stir: Pour the cold water over the leaves and give it a quick stir to ensure all leaves are submerged. Don’t pack the leaves too tightly; they need room to infuse.
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for 6–8 hours. Taste at 6 hours—if you prefer a stronger brew, leave it up to 8 hours. Avoid leaving it longer than 12 hours or the green tea may turn bitter.
- Strain and serve: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass filled with ice. Add fresh melon cubes, mint, or a squeeze of lime if you like. Strain before adding ice to keep the brew clear and prevent over-dilution.
