Iced Moringa Cooler with Ginger

teas.co.uk · 12 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 Dalgety Moringa with Green Tea bags
• 200ml freshly drawn water, brought to a rolling boil then left for 2 minutes to drop to about 80C
• 2 fresh ginger root coins, peeled and gently crushed (about 15g)
• 1 half slice of fresh lemon, for the rim
• 1 fresh mint sprig, for the glass
• Optional: 1 teaspoon of clear runny honey, stirred into the warm brew before cooling
• 1 tall 400ml tumbler, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
• Enough cubed ice to fill the tumbler (about 250g)
• 1 small heatproof jug
• 1 wide paper or metal straw

Method

1. Chill a tall glass in the freezer while you brew.
2. Boil 200ml of water, then let the kettle rest for two minutes so it falls to around 80C.
3. Put two tea bags and two crushed ginger coins in a small jug, pour the water over, cover, and steep for three minutes.
4. Lift out the bags without pressing them, then remove the ginger. Stir in a teaspoon of honey now if you want it sweet.
5. Stand the jug in a bowl of cold water to cool the brew to room temperature.
6. Fill the chilled glass with ice, pour the cooled tea over, then hook a lemon slice on the rim and stand a mint sprig in the ice.
7. Drink it the same day while it still tastes lively; the green tea loses its lift if it sits overnight.
