‘Simply steep your teabag or loose leaf tea in cold water for only two to 12 hours. No water heating process is necessary,’ she wrote on Instagram
‘[I love] butter made from high quality, cultured, pastured cream. I love butter so much it goes on everything hot. Such a good source of vitamin A and D,’ she said.
Ms Koullouros also recently revealed the ‘simplest’ way to make a tea.
‘Simply steep your teabag or loose leaf tea in cold water for only two to 12 hours. No water heating process is necessary,’ she wrote on Instagram.
‘This is different to making an iced tea which is made with hot water and then iced or refrigerated to cool. The benefits? Well for starters it’s easier. No extra infusion vessel is necessary aka a teapot, so less cleaning time.
‘It’s as refreshing as an iced tea and there is less astringency because the extraction time is much slower producing a lighter-bodied tea. In fact, sometimes the flavours released can be remarkably different and delicately beautiful.’
