Fill First, insert the stopper into the outside bottom
of the brewing container; then, dampen the filter and
insert it into the inside bottom of the brewing
container.
Next, add 3 cups (710 mL) of water into the bottom
of the Toddy brewing container and 4 ounces (115 g)
of tea leaves. Slowly pour 3 more cups (710 mL) of
water over the leaves in a circular motion. Then, add
the remaining 4 ounces (115 g) of tea leaves. Finally,
wait 5 minutes and slowly add the last 3 cups
(710 mL) of water. DO NOT STIR (stirring the bed
of tea leaves can result in a clogged filter).
Lightly press down on the topmost tea leaves with
the back of a spoon to ensure all tea leaves are wet
.
Brew Steep your tea leaves for 12 hours
to create a smooth, vibrant flavor.
Filter Remove the stopper and let your tea
concentrate flow into the glass decanter, where it will
stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
Serve We recommend starting with a ratio of
1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water, milk, or soy.
Mix to taste, making your tea as strong or as mild
as you prefer. Serve hot or iced.
