I cold-brewed my leftover leaves from last night on a whim, and oh man am I glad I did. This is one of the best cold brews I’ve ever had! And very different from the hot tea.
The maple is still there but in the background, and the pecan is what really pops. And it’s not just generically nutty, but very identifiably pecan! It’s like an ice cold liquid pecan pie… which, yeah, may not sound that appetizing but it is beyond delicious. Bumping up the rating a little!

Wow I never thought of doing that with this. Sounds awesome.
I had that hot today. What is cold brew?
Cold brewing involves steeping the tea for a long period of time (anywhere from 5 to 24 hours, my usual range is 10-12) in cold water in the fridge. It tends to bring out different flavor profiles, and it is almost impossible to make tea bitter this way!
It’s my go-to method for iced teas, I make 2 cups every night a few hours before bed and they are ready when I get up! It’s also great for getting a last steep out of already-used leaves, since they are in the water for so long you can extract a lot of flavor.
Interesting idea to cold brew this one. I think I need to try that.
