How to prepare a cold infusion?

To prepare a cold brew, there are two possible preparation methods:

  • With hot water, to best extract the active ingredients: let the herbs infuse for 5 to 10 minutes in hot water. Filter and let cool, or pour directly over ice cubes to drink right away.
  • with cold water, for the more patient: let the plants infuse in room temperature water for 1 to 3 hours, or even overnight.

And for those with a sweet tooth, there's nothing like adding a touch of honey or some fruit!
