Good friend of mine Todd Nixdorf just got back from Japan and described the latest trend in iced tea. As most of you know I am a big green tea fan! This is by far the best method for making an iced green tea. Using loose-leaf sencha from Japan, take 3 level tablespoons of sencha and put it in a pitcher (64oz) of cold, filtered water. Let it steep for an hour and then strain the sencha leaves out. It is really refereshing, not sharp and needs no sweetner at all. As a matter of fact, I would say adding sugar would ruin the taste.
I hope you enjoy my new summer time drink as much as I do!
