teas.co.uk · 15 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 pyramid tea bags of Teapigs Darjeeling
• 200ml freshly drawn water cooled to 90C
• 200ml cold still water
• 1 tall 450ml glass, chilled in the freezer for ten minutes
• Enough cubed ice (about 250g)
• 1 small jug for steeping, 1 saucer for covering

Method

1. Boil the kettle and let it stand a minute to come down to around 90C.
2. Steep the 2 pyramid bags in 200ml of the cooled water for five minutes under a saucer, then lift them out.
3. Cool the brew right down, standing the jug in cold water or chilling it.
4. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the cooled tea over.
5. Lengthen with the cold water, easing it down the back of a spoon.
6. Tip: a twist of lemon peel, oils squeezed over the glass, is the only addition Darjeeling ever really needs.
