ICE LEMON TEA | SUMMER DRINKS RECIPES

Ice lemon tea is a refreshing summer cooler and i have started having this ice lemon tea after lunch almost everyday.since i am taking on everyday basis, i never add too much sugar to this but if you are serving for guests you can add as per your taste. I tried this ice lemon tea with normal tea powder which i use for making everyday tea.

INGREDIENTS:

TEA POWDER | TEA BAGS	1 TBLSP | 2 TEA BAGS
WATER	4 CUPS
LEMON JUICE	3-4 TBLSP
GINGER	A SMALL PIECE(OPTIONAL)
SUGAR	TO TASTE

METHOD:

• In a saucepan bring the water to boil and add the tea powder ( i used the “TATA” BRAND) . Let it boil for a minute and switch off the flame.

• If using tea bags, when the water comes to a rolling boil switch off the flame and put the tea bags inside it.
• If adding ginger, using a mortar and pestle mash it slightly and add to the water.
• cover the lid of the saucepan and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
• Strain the tea and add 1-2 cups of water to the strained tea as it may be strong.
• Add lemon juice to this and add sugar.

• Serve immediately by adding ice cubes to this.

Notes:

1. You can add mint leaves to the tea when the water is boiling.
2. Mint will give a nice flavour and will be refreshing too.
3. Do not add too much tea powder as it will give bitter taste.
