Orange Chamomile Cold Brew Tea

This Orange Chamomile Cold Brew Tea is the perfect soothing refreshment for these hot summer days! It’s also AIP, Paleo, Whole30 & Top 8 friendly.

This orange chamomile cold brew tea is the perfect summer thirst quencher! Using a combination of orange peels, chamomile tea bags, freshly sliced ginger and fresh mint, it’s not only caffeine-free but also very low in calories. This is a safer alternative to the ever popular Sun Tea version. Why? Sun tea, tea that is literally brewed outside in the sun for several hours, runs the risk of harboring unwanted bacterial growth due to the temperature not rising to the safety zone quickly enough. You also store the sun tea in the fridge after it’s done brewing, so why not start there and keep it 100% safe from the get-go?!

Feel free to brew for as little as 4 hours and as long as 8. I tend to go on the longer side because I prefer a stronger tasting tea. The options with cold brew teas are limitless! Give it a try and start experimenting with your fav flavors. Happy Summer Solstice!
