    "content_text": "Iced green tea does not get cleaner than this: no sugar, no fruit syrup, just cool tea sharpened with lemon and freshened with a wheel of cucumber. Cucumber and green tea have a quiet affinity, both cool and faintly grassy, and together they make a glass about as restorative as a soft drink gets. Brew the tea gently at around 80C so it stays smooth once it is iced.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
