Enjoy a wonderfully refreshing iced lemon tea at home with this easy and quick recipe.
Ingredients- Black tea leaves 1 tsp
- Hot water 150ml (approx. 90-95°C)
- Ice cubes
- Lemon syrup/preserve 2 Tbsp
- Thinly sliced lemon 1 piece (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Brew the tea: In a teapot or heatproof vessel, add 1 teaspoon of black tea leaves. Pour in 150ml of hot water (around 90-95°C or 194-203°F). Let it steep for 3-4 minutes to extract the rich flavor. Be careful not to over-steep, as it can make the tea bitter.
Step 2
Prepare your glass: Fill a clear glass or mug generously with ice cubes. Using plenty of ice will help keep your drink perfectly chilled.
Step 3
Pour the brewed tea: Gently pour the steeped black tea over the ice in the glass. Watch as the hot tea meets the ice and begins to cool down, creating the base for your iced beverage.
Step 4
Add sweetness and tang: Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon syrup or preserve. This is what gives the drink its signature sweet and zesty lemon flavor. Adjust the amount to your personal preference.
Step 5
Garnish and serve: Finish by adding a thin slice of lemon to the rim of the glass or floating it on top. Give it a gentle stir and enjoy your delicious, homemade lemon black tea!
