Cold Brew Lapsang & Orange

Smoky lapsang souchong cold-brewed with dried orange peel creates a surprisingly sophisticated iced tea — campfire smoke, citrus zest, and a long, warming finish. Bold and utterly unique.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine lapsang souchong, orange peel, and black peppercorns in a large glass jar.

  2. 2

    Pour cold filtered water over the ingredients. Stir gently to submerge.

  3. 3

    Cover and refrigerate for 8–10 hours. Taste at 8 hours — lapsang is assertive and can over-extract.

  4. 4

    Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pitcher. Discard solids.

  5. 5

    Serve over large ice cubes. A small drizzle of maple syrup complements the smokiness beautifully.

Pro tip

Lapsang souchong varies widely in smokiness by brand — start with 1.5 tbsp if you are new to it and adjust to taste. This tea pairs exceptionally well with charcuterie and aged cheeses.
