Use this tool to determine the exact volume of tea concentrate and water needed for any batch size based on your preferred dilution ratio.
Concentrate Required:
2.5
Water Required:
7.5
Interpretation: To achieve the desired concentration, pour the concentrate into your container first, then add the water until you reach the final target volume.
The parts-based ratio method involves adding a specific number of "parts" of water to a single part of tea concentrate. This allows you to scale recipes easily regardless of the container size or unit of measurement you are using.
Formula: Total Parts = 1 (Concentrate) + X (Water)
Imagine you want to prepare 5 Liters of iced tea for a gathering using a concentrate that recommends a 1:4 dilution ratio.
Can I use this for cold brew?Yes! Cold brew tea is often prepared as a strong concentrate to save storage space. Use this calculator to determine the exact amount of water needed to dilute your brew to its ideal drinking strength.
What is a standard ratio?Common ratios include 1:3 for strong tea lattes and 1:7 for refreshing, lighter iced teas. Most commercial tea concentrates will list a recommended ratio on the packaging.
Does the unit matter?The unit does not matter. Because the math is based on ratios, the calculation remains constant whether you are measuring in liters, gallons, cups, or ounces.
