An alternative method is to brew the tea as normal and then place the tea pot in a large pot. Then you can put the pot in the sink and turn on the cold water so that water pours into the large pot and flows around the teapot, cooling it.</p> <p>If you have a lot of cold, cheap water, it's a good method for rapidly cooling your tea.</p> I guess there is a limit to how strong you can brew your tea, so the ice-cube method is not ideal.

If you have a lot of cold, cheap water, it’s a good method for rapidly cooling your tea.
