Iced Darjeeling

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
• Enough cubed ice (about 250g)

Method

1. Boil the kettle and wait for about 90C, the right heat for Darjeeling; a thermometer or a kettle with presets confirms it.
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. Pour the cooled Darjeeling over a tall glass of ice.
5. Lengthen the Darjeeling with cold water poured down a spoon's back.
6. Tip: a twist of lemon peel, oils squeezed over the glass, is the only addition Darjeeling ever really needs.
