Snowy Owl Coffee Signature Matcha Drinks
Before you make any of the next recipes you will have to make a Jasmine Tea Concentrate. This is a very simple process:
Brew an extra strength cup of jasmine tea (2 tea bags/ or 4 tbs of tea per 12-16oz of hot, but not boiling water ~185F), remove tea bags after 4 mins. This can be made in the same ratio, in any amount. If you'd like, pre-make this and use it throughout the week! Just store it in the refrigerator, and use it anytime you'd like to make a Jasmine Matcha or Citrus Matcha!
You can also cold brew this concentrate: Just put two tea bags in 16oz of cold water and let sit overnight at room temp. In the morning, remove the tea bags and store the concentrate in the refrigerator. Concentrate should last up to a week in the fridge.
