teas.co.uk · 2 hr 15 min · Makes 6 scoops

You'll need

• 3 tea bags of Lipton Black Tea with Spanish Lemons
• 400ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 80g caster sugar
• 70ml fresh lemon juice
• Zest of 2 fresh lemons, finely grated
• 1 shallow 1L freezer proof container with lid
• 1 small saucepan and a saucer for covering
• 1 fork for stirring

Method

1. Brew the three tea bags in 400ml of just boiled water for four minutes, covered, then lift them out.
2. Stir the caster sugar into the hot tea until it has fully dissolved.
3. Stand the pan in cold water for five minutes to cool it down.
4. Stir in the lemon juice and the grated zest.
5. Pour into a shallow freezer proof container and freeze for one hour.
6. Rake a fork through it to break up the crystals, then freeze and repeat every twenty minutes for two more rounds.
7. Serve in small chilled glasses while it is still flaky.
8. Tip: taste before freezing, as lemons vary; add a little more sugar if it is too sharp for you.
