Yes, Twinings tea can be served hot or cold. To make iced tea, simply bring two cups of water to a boil and turn off the heat. Then add three to five tea bags. Alternatively, you can add three tablespoons of loose tea in a strainer. Steep for five minutes. Pour your concentrated tea into a pitcher and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Next, fill the pitcher with cold water, stir and sweeten if desired.
For cold-brewed tea, use one tea bag for every six to eight ounces of cold water in your pitcher. Cover and refrigerate. Steep green or white tea for six to eight hours, and steep oolong or black tea 8-12 hours. After steeping, remove the tea bags to keep your tea from getting too strong or bitter.
