  • Place your blend into the pitcher or filters.
  • Soak or pour cold, filtered water over your tea.
  • Let it steep for 6-8 hours or 4 days at the maximum.

Pouch Brewing Instructions

      1. 7 teaspoons (check the side of the tea box for specific spoon size) to a Mist Iced tea jug.
      2. 7 teaspoons (check the side of the tea box for specific spoon size) to a Large Natural Fiber Disposable Tea Filter.
  • 2) Gently fill the pitcher / Ice Tea Jug with cold water (filtered if possible) and cover the pitcher.
