How I make Ice Tea
Lemon ice tea is a refreshing and delicious drink that can be enjoyed all year round. It is easy to make at home and has many good benefits like quenching ones thirst. In this post, I will share with you some tips on how to make the best lemon ice tea.
Lemon ice tea is made by brewing black tea and adding lemon juice and sugar or honey to taste. You can also use green tea or herbal tea if you prefer. The lemon juice adds a tangy flavour and a boost of vitamin C. The sugar or honey balances the acidity and adds sweetness. You can adjust the amount of lemon juice and sweetener according to your preference. Personally I preferer making it with honey.
To make the best lemon ice tea, you need to use good quality tea leaves and fresh lemons. Avoid using tea bags or bottled lemon juice, as they may contain artificial flavors and preservatives that can affect the taste and quality of your drink. You also need to brew the tea properly and let it cool down before adding ice. If you add ice to hot tea, it will dilute the flavor and make it watery.
Here are the steps to make the best lemon ice tea:
1. Boil 1 liter of water in a kettle or a pot.
2. Put some tea leaves in a teapot or a large pitcher. You can use about 4–5 grams of tea leaves per 1 liter of water (approximately 1 teaspoon per 250 milliliters).
3. Pour the boiling water over the tea leaves and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
4. Strain the tea into another pitcher or a large bowl and discard the tea leaves.
5. Squeeze some fresh lemons and measure out the juice. You need about 60–80 milliliters of lemon juice per 1 liter of tea.
6. Add the lemon juice and some sugar or honey to the tea and stir well until dissolved. You can use about 50–75 grams of sugar or 60–80 milliliters of honey per 1 liter of tea, or more or less depending on your taste.
7. Let the tea cool down completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
8. Fill some glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemon ice tea over them.
9. Enjoy your refreshing and delicious drink!
