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 cooled to about 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 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 wide paper or metal straw

Method

1. While the moringa brews, chill a tall glass in the freezer.
2. Boil 200ml of water for the moringa and let it fall to about 80C; a thermometer or a temperature control kettle will confirm it.
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.
