How to Cold Brew Tea with Kids
Skip sugary drinks & get your kids cold brewing tea for themselves & the family. Cold Brew is an easy & safe method for even young kids, because no hot water is needed - you just steep tea leaves in cold or room temperature water.
It’s a great way to give little ones, tweens & teens something easy to do that makes a positive contribution to the household.
Get them to put tea & water in pitchers or mason jars in the evening & place them in the fridge overnight - Cold Brew Tea will be ready the next morning.
Kids can make a daily selection of Cold Brew Teas with their favourite teas & ones for the adults in the house too.
Plus, teas they make, kids get excited about, which means they will reach for healthy, vitamin & antioxidant rich Cold Brew Teas instead of sugary drinks. SILK ROAD TEAS taste delicious as Cold Brews & the flavours are popular with all-ages.
