Hello all...
This has been bugging me for a while, because I hate to serve a watered-down drink: We serve a huge variety of hot teas, arranged on shelves in jars for the customers to bring to the counter for us to prepare. When a customer brings a tea jar to the counter and says "Can I get this iced?" we are happy to oblige by brewing a very small amount for a few minutes and pouring it over ice. Obviously, this results in about a 50:50 ratio of brewed tea to melted ice, to which we add a little more ice to top it off. I feel like I'm serving water colored with tea.
My question: Is there a better way we can effectively cool the tea without it becoming way too labor-intensive for us and too time-consuming for the customer?
Thanks.
