Caroline-
Great comment. Presses can work really well for doing large quantities of iced tea. There are a few tricks to make your tea better and easier.
1) Brew the stronger but not longer. Don’t confuse these two. If you are using a 1 liter press try putting about 3 or maybe 4 tablespoons of leaves in when you steep. It is important to not let it steep longer than you normally would – say 3 minutes. If it sits on the leaves longer it will get bitter. Not what you want. Once done get the tea out of the press and into a larger container. I usually pour it right over ice while hot. The ice will melt quickly, cooling and diluting the tea. A one 1 liter press brewed this way can yeild 2 liters of tea. As long as your tea was not over-steeped the result will be delicious and very convienent for restaurant use.

We are using your Garden of Eden tea for our iced tea – we brew it hot in a few large presses, plunge, pour, then let cool. Do you have any other suggestions for brewing this particular tea in large quantities.
