To make a cold brew with Yuzu Matcha Kukicha, you can follow these general steps:

3. Strain and serve: Once the cold brew is ready, strain out the tea leaves using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, and discard the leaves. Serve the cold brew tea over ice, garnish with a slice of fresh orange or lemon if desired, and enjoy!
