Just curious, is it ok (nutrition-wise) to make a big batch of green tea and store it in the fridge, or are the nutrients broken down if allowed to sit or cool down?
Thanks

Re: Preserving nutrients
I doubt if anyone can give a 100% certain answer to this question. In the case of most tea studies, they tend to be of a dubious nature/source &/or there are conflicting studies.
The ready to drink market is full of premade beverages that sit for a long period of time ... but ...
I would try to drink it w/in a day or two. But fresher is always better in my opinion.

Re: Preserving nutrients
Yep, the fresher the better. The longer it sits, the more that is lost. There will still be benefit, but not as much.
