How do you brew Nelson's Tea AandJ's Root Beer Sarsaparilla?

Use 1 tablespoon of loose tea for 8 oz (237 mL) of water at 203°F (95°C), and steep for 5–7 minutes. A longer steep brings out more of the bark-and-root character. To serve it iced, use twice the amount of tea, brew it hot, then pour it over ice.

• Adjust steeping time to bring forward more of the blend’s root and bark notes.
• For iced tea, increase the leaf amount before brewing rather than diluting the finished tea.
