I do this "cold brewing"/"mizu-dashi" of Sencha in the summer too.
Have a special cup for it too, somewhat like a small, stemless
brandy snifter with a charming sky-blue floral design, straight
from mid-60's Japan. I do like to put in one or two ice cubes
when drinking it. Don't load it up with ice, or the tea will get
too cold and the flavor will be lost.
