Iced Tea Brewing Method
Make as for hot, but add extra tea - a rule of thumb is to double the amount of tea used per cup. When the tea has cooled a little pour over ice. It is important to make it a little stronger as the ice will water it down.
Cold Brew Method
Place the tea in a jug and add cold water. Leave to infuse for a few hours (or overnight in the fridge) strain and enjoy. Cold brewing will give a smoother taste.

Best green tea for price, by a very wide margin
A lovely green tea that I keep on coming back to. Extremely good for the price, I brew the first pot for 3.5 minutes at around 80C, and then a second pot for ~6 minutes at around 95C and it is always excellent.
