Brewing Accessories & Other Add-Ons

Try it Iced

Sunrise on the Hudson makes a particularly refreshing and delicious iced tea. Brew a strong cup using twice the amount of recommended tea and pour over ice before serving. We prefer to drink it without any added sweetener, but if you find the flavor too tart you may want to add a bit of honey or raw sugar.

RECIPE

To Make 2 Quarts of Iced Tea

  • About 24 g (1/2 cup) Sunrise on the Hudson loose leaf tea

  • 4 cups (1 quart) of boiling water

  • Ice and additional room temperature filtered water

  1. Pour 1 quart boiling water over the loose leaf tea. This can be done in a large glass pitcher or even a saucepan. For easier cleanup, use disposable tea sachets with 5-6 grams of tea per bag.

  2. Steep 12-15 minutes

  3. Strain out the leaves. If using sachets, you can simply remove and discard the bags. Otherwise, strain into a new container using a fine-mesh strainer.

  4. Pour the hot tea over ice. Fill a 2-quart pitcher about halfway with ice and pour the strained hot tea over it. Don’t drop ice cubes into the hot liquid, as it will splash.

  5. Top up with filtered water. Enjoy!

How to use loose leaf tea

  • Place tea leaves in a teapot, infuser basket, or empty tea bag

  • Pour hot water over the tea (rather than dunking tea leaves into the water)

  • Strain or remove leaves before enjoying

Brewing Guidelines

Heat 8 oz of filtered water to a boil. Pour water over 2g (about 1.5 tsp) tea leaves in a teapot or a strainer set in a cup. Steep for 3 – 5 minutes.

If you prefer your tea stronger, we suggest using more tea rather than increasing the amount of time; longer steep times may impact the flavor of the tea.

If serving over ice, use more tea when brewing to avoid diluting the tea too much as it cools.

Always use filtered or spring water to fully enjoy the taste of your tea. For best results, brew using a teapot with a removable filter that allows the leaves to unfurl completely. Avoid tea balls/eggs or other infusers that compress the tea leaves.

Storing Tea

Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, moisture, and light. We do not recommend storing tea in clear containers (such as glass jars) as light can affect the shelf life of tea.

Herbal tea should be consumed within 1 - 2 years of purchase for optimal flavor.
