I have been using Green Tea to make an infusing for some months now. I put two green tea bags into 2 litres of water and leave in the 'fridge overnight. You get a rich iced tea, a deep fine colour and a magnificent non-bitter taste.
I've now just got some white tea and I'd like to achieve the same effect. Do I have to steep it in 80C water first before doing this, or can I steep it in water from scratch just as with the green tea?
I've got 2g silk pouches of Sri Lankan (Ceylon of course!) Dilmah Silver Tips white tea, by the way, in case anybody is familiar with this particular one.
The instructions on the packet are only for brewing it hot. Of course it may turn out that this is the only way, in which case I'll brew it hot and then add it to my iced green tea - which should make it a good drink to enjoy all day!
Any suggestions gratefully received.
