teas.co.uk · 15 min plus freezing · Serves 4

You'll need

• 3 tea bags of True English Tea Everyday Green Tea
• 400ml freshly boiled water, cooled to about 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 60g caster sugar
• Juice of half a lemon

Method

1. Cool the boiled water to near 80C, checking with a thermometer, and steep three bags of green tea in 400ml of it for 4 minutes. Lift the bags out without squeezing.
2. Dissolve the sugar in the hot green tea, then add the lemon juice. Cool completely.
3. Pour into a shallow freezer tub and freeze. After about an hour, scrape through with a fork, then repeat every 30 to 40 minutes for 3 to 4 hours until you have light, icy flakes.
4. Fork through once more and spoon into glasses.
5. Scrape more often near the end for finer flakes, or less for a chunkier, slushier texture.
