Abstract
A brewer and serving carafe for cold water infusion of string suspended tea bags. A frusto-conical diffuser member placed within the carafe includes a tea bag retainer at a lower end adapted for compensating adjustment of the length of the tea bag string to ensure liquid submergence during the brewing procedure. A reservoir at an upper end of the diffuser member simultaneously provides for the selective introduction of flavor enhancing agents and/or taste modifiers that gradually enter into solution.
