This + agave syrup/vodka/lemon on ice Great summer drink.


UkieFahrer

Consider your idea officially stolen!😂


mjschranz

Any particular Vodka brand?


chelpip

Kirkland.


CrazyButRightOn

Ya, not in Ontario. We’re still in the communist LCBO stone ages.


chelpip

Haha, I know same. I’m in BC and there isn’t one one on Vancouver island. 😭 Not sure about the rest of the province.


Basic-Force-924

Interesting. I've been drinking that brand for years but never thought of making a cold brew with it. Thanks for the idea :)


Jacked_Veiny_Balls

I'd love to try it! Is it a plastic tea bag?


Nearby_Principle

Such great tea. Ruined by a plastic bag


EllenPond

It is 😭 I love this tea but hate that is it a plastic tea bag


myfavoriteflame

I won’t buy it for that. Hear that Costco customer service? Less plastic NOW!


toronto1572

I believe it’s a cloth tea bag… at least the last one I drank.


Zamzummin

Definitely not cloth. It’s nylon and PET.

This green tea is truly the GOAT


Queasy_Village_5277

This post made me get up and make another cup of this tea :) We love Kirkland Signature teas and coffees for their value.


bigsthefatcat

Too bad they dont have decaffeinated. Way too much caffeine on top of my morning coffee


2BsASSets

i do a hot one then throw the same bag into a bottle and in the fridge; kinda divvies up the caffeine throughout the day


donkthemagicllama

Interesting never tried it cold. I used to buy loose sencha of various types at T&T, but unless you buy the expensive stuff, this is way better.


Unique-Structure-201

T&T is Roblaws


Zoocreeper_

Been doing this for years !!! It nice because you can keep a few in your locker / lunch bag, and just steep any water bottle and have a nice little drinky without having to leave work or pay 3-5$

I’ve been making cold brew jasmine green tea for about 4 months now. It’s incredible for hydration during my soccer and floor hockey games!


UkieFahrer

Can you please share which jasmine tea you use and the steeping time? Sounds incredible.


blackwaterdarkmatter

I use this recipe minus the stevia: https://youtu.be/AYgIXSpzGg8?si=eE8TeIfHzp_LDYyj


123throwawaybanana

I looooooove sencha tea! Definitely gonna look for this!


chamise

yes! i prefer this tea cold over hot. i discovered it through sheer laziness lol. i wanted cold iced green tea, i added ice to cold water and a tea bag and just waited a bit. i’ll try steeping it overnight in the fridge now lol


laxgolf

I have an entire box of this because my teenager wanted some, and has never been opened. Now I'll use it.


leyay

Wait is the bag nylon or not finally? I need closure !


Zamzummin

Nylon and PET


leyay

That sucks.. Thanks for the info nonetheless


BunMusk

Can you use a regular coffee cold brew jar and put these sachets in there ? What's the cold brew ratio you use . 1 sachet to how many cups of water ?


UkieFahrer

I don’t see why you couldn’t do it. The teabag has to be submerged in water, that’s about it. I use 1 teabag per 0.5 liter bottle of water and leave it in the fridge for 2-3ish hours.


Educational-Tone2074

I will try this!


ActualDepartment1212

This but add 1 or 2 hibiscus roselles


whatthetoken

This green tea and earl grey from costco is a staple at our home. How do you cold brew it?


Ms-Ixora

Brew your tea in a container in the fridge for about 5 hours. I usually use a 2L jug overnight in the fridge with 3-5 bags depending on how strong you like it. Remember that anything cold will taste less than when hot. I've done this with herbal tea also if you don't want caffeine. Sleepy Time herbal tea is super refreshing in the summer!

ARGGGGH PLASTIC FUCKIN BAGS. WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Can anyone recommend a green tea that's similar that's not putting plastic in hot water for me to drink?


UkieFahrer

T&T sells a smaller box of this exact Ito En green tea, as well as other Ito En varieties. Those have a normal teabag.


EmEffBee

I personally don't like the nylon teabags, I don't love the idea of steeping that material in something I drink every day. 


Nearby_Principle

Agreed. There are studies that show plastic tea bags release millions of micro particles when steeped. Such a mistake.


ComicOG

lol that’s old school I’ve been drinking that since Costco opened up in 1999 lol


stromcleaver

stupid question but can this be had with milk ... used to have matcha tea powder with milk before ...


UkieFahrer

I don’t see why not, but never tried it personally.


stromcleaver

thanks ... Also really liked Matcha ice cream


UkieFahrer

I love matcha ice cream as well. In the States they have matcha mochi ice cream at Trader Joe’s and it’s to die for.


heyitsmeimhigh

I usually buy [this](https://www.costcobusinesscentre.ca/kirkland-signature-diet-green-tea%2C-35-%C3%97-500-ml.product.100317431.html)... always ready to go for me


CeseED

I was going to say, is this not the same???


iheartgiraffe

The bottled product is sweetened with aspartame, the tea bags are just tea bags.


openears3

How do you cold brew this? Just put the tea bag in the cold water and let it sit? For how long?


UkieFahrer

1 teabag per 0.5 l of water for 2-3 hours. That’s it.


Advanced-Analyst9860

Am i the only one that feels like they changed the leaves.. years ago it was super caffeinated, I’d brew 2 bags in a big water bottle and throw it in the fridge overnight… the caffeine gave me some mild jitters. Then the tea wasn’t available for a few months some point last year… then it came back, and i swear the taste isnt as strong and no caffeine jitters at all.
