It is getting warmer here and hotter in India. Am sure everybody is in the look out for something cold, be it a drink or ice cream. This Iced Lemon Tea is an easy-peasy refreshing drink with a hint of tea, mint & lemon flavour. Sounds refreshing right?!? This has been in my to-do list since a long time. Finally made as a start-up recipe for this summer. If u are a coffee lover, check my Cold Coffee recipe too!!
Now to the recipe..
[Preparation Time-5 mins : Cooking Time- 2 mins]
Iced Lemon Tea Ingredients:
- Tea powder – 2 tsp or 1 tea bag
- Water – 2 cups
- Sugar – as needed
- Mint leaves – 10
- Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
- Lemon wedges – few
- Ice Cubes – few
Method:
- Boil 2 cups of water in a sauce pan. Switch off the flame and add the tea powder or bag to it. Leave it for 5 mins. This will result in a medium flavoured tea. Strain it with a strainer and let it cool down.
- Add required sugar and lemon juice to the tea. Mix well. Take a serving glass and add a couple of lemon wedges, ice cubes and mint leaves. Add the tea to it and serve chilled.
Thats it!! Iced Lemon Tea is ready!
Enjoy this refreshing drink chilled!!
Tips:
- Do not boil after adding the tea powder. Resting it for 5 mins will do. If u boil it, it will taste bitter.
- Add the lemon juice and lemon wedges just before serving. Else the Iced Lemon Tea will not look as clear as in the picture. It will look cloudy.
- U can use orange instead of lemon too.
- Adjust sugar according to your taste buds.
