A method of making an individual serving of an aqueous tea concentrate comprises locating at a strainer a quantity of loose particulate tea material that is sufficient to produce the individual tea concentrate serving. The quantity of tea material is directly contacted with a sufficient amount of water so as to produce the individual tea concentrate serving. The particle size of the tea material, the tea material-water contact time and the temperature of the water can each be controlled so as to minimise the extract of tannins from the tea material and into the concentrate. The aqueous tea concentrate is collected once it has passed through the strainer to thereby separate it from the particulate tea material. Apparatus and a kit for making the concentrate can comprise a strainer 34 at which a quantity of loose particulate tea material can be located for contact with water so as to produce an aqueous concentrate that is separated at the strainer from the tea material, and a mass 36, 36A that is locatable on the loose particulate tea material so as to restrain the upward expansion of the loose particulate tea material when it is directly contacted with the water.
