Review on 🍵 Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Maker 1000ml - Green by Brian Kingsford

I drink a lot of tea, both iced and traditionally brewed, and a few years ago I was lucky enough to come across Hario cooler teapots. Of course, as I still buy them, I still use them because I believe that there is nothing better for tea in the fridge. here is this one http://www.amazon.com/Hario-Ice-Tea-Pot-Pure/dp/B0043AZ0O4/ref=pd_rhf_cr_s_t_2 (sorry but as it's out of stock Revain won't give me a link to it - copy and paste ), it's just less extensive. It holds 30% less liquid than this jug and 40% more than the half liter Harios I also own, so I think it could be called "Mama Bear Size" (the operative volume difference is 300ml in the first and 200ml). . ml in the latter). Hario makes vessels from borosilicate glass; They tolerate a wide range of temperature fluctuations. However, note that while you can add boiling water to this jug, the lid and particularly the removable filter are NOT intended for use with hot water (I don't even think they're dishwasher safe). If you want to brew your tea hot and then put the pot in the fridge to enjoy later, that's fine. However, you're not doing yourself any favors if you don't at least try iced tea. In short (and double-check my review using the included product link), if you want to get the most out of this particular pitcher, use 5-6g of dry tea leaves per 700ml of water and let sit in the fridge overnight. Refrigerator. While anal I filter the leaves and squeeze them into a tea infusion before drinking. Rest assured that the filter in the lid keeps the leaves out of the tea as you pour; it also enriches the tea with oxygen. Please note that the included instruction manual is almost entirely in Japanese; However, blueprints are included to protect against jerks. I would also add that their recommended use of 10g leaves is plenty, at least for me. Start with the amounts I recommend; You can always customize it to your liking if your taste and mine don't match. I'm a big fan of these Hario jugs and actually always have several of them (two half-litre jugs, half-strength "Pure", and now this one) running at the same time, all with different teas. This jug is a nice addition as its nice symmetry makes it easy to pick up and hold and the dark green lid/filter is nice and like all my Hario jugs has metric volume indicators for ease of use. I currently have super-premium Gyokuro Konacha, a blend of Moroccan-style spearmint with a hint of jasmine, roasted Taiwanese highland oolong, and kyobancha (one of the few I brew with hot water before chilling). ) in my fridge for consumption tomorrow. Such a wealth and it can be changed whenever I want! They're all smooth and delicious, and far healthier than sweetened soft drinks. I love iced tea even in the dead of winter, and I suspect others appreciate it too. Try the Hario Iced Tea Pitcher, but be prepared to have more than one. :)
