'''Mizudashi''' (水だし) is the Japanese method of cold brewing tea. In contrast, [[Koridashi]] involves using ice cubes instead of cool water. The process of steeping with hot water is known as [[Nurudashi]]. Cold brewing, whether with cool or ice-cold water, allows for a slower extraction of flavors, resulting in a smoother and less bitter tea. This method is particularly popular during hot weather, providing a refreshing and thirst-quenching alternative to traditionally brewed hot tea. It's a delightful way to enjoy the nuanced flavors of tea while keeping cool and hydrated. | '''Mizudashi''' (水だし) is the Japanese method of cold brewing tea.
