Cold brewing infusions : our tip for this summer
As summer arrives, the quest for refreshing and hydrating drinks becomes a priority. Among the trendiest and most beneficial solutions is cold infusion of herbal teas. This simple and natural method offers a healthy and delicious alternative to industrial sugary drinks. Let’s explore our range of mixed herbal teas and the secrets of this summer trick.
WHAT IS COLD INFUSION?
Cold infusion involves steeping plants, herbs, or fruits in cold water for an extended period, at least 24 hours. Unlike traditional hot infusion, this method extracts the flavors and benefits of the ingredients without altering them with heat.
BENEFITS OF COLD INFUSION
- Delicate and less bitter flavor: Cold infusion gently releases flavors, avoiding the bitterness sometimes caused by hot water. The result is a lighter and more subtle-tasting drink.
- Nutrient preservation: Heat can degrade certain vitamins and minerals in plants. By opting for cold infusion, the beneficial properties of the ingredients are better preserved.
- Optimal hydration: Cold herbal teas are an excellent source of hydration, perfect for hot days. They can be consumed throughout the day without any caloric or sugary intake.

A CHILLED HIBISCUS TEA
We also love the tangy taste of hibiscus and recommend trying a hibiscus tea infused in hot water, then chilled this summer. You’ll get a beautifully pink, refreshing, and healthy drink. Hibiscus supports digestion and is known for its draining effects. Simply put 5-10 hibiscus calyces in your carafe of very hot water and let it infuse. You can keep the pretty calyces during the cooling process to enjoy their beauty while sipping.
Cold infusion of herbal teas is a simple and effective way to refresh yourself while enjoying the benefits of plants. Easy to prepare, healthy, and infinitely customizable, it stands out as the ultimate summer drink.
