Abstract
A cold water infusion apparatus and method for brewing iced tea and similar beverages includes a vessel, having a removable lid, for containing the water and a tabular guideway supported from the lid and extending into the water. A string having an infusion pouch at one end and a tag at the other end is selectively engaged in the guideway. A lower edge of the guideway retains the pouch in a submerged position within the water. A dispenser attached to the guideway, is fillable with a granulated sweetener, and is simultaneously submergable with the pouch for dissolving the sweetener in the water.
