teas.co.uk · 15 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Lipton Organic Green Tea
• 200ml freshly drawn water cooled to 80C
• 200ml cold still water
• 1 fresh cucumber wheel (about 5mm thick)
• 1 fresh lemon wheel
• 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, then let it cool for a minute or two to about 80C, so the green tea does not scorch.
2. Steep the 2 bags in 200ml of that cooled water for four minutes, covered, then take them out.
3. Chill the brew right down, in the fridge or a bowl of cold water.
4. Pack a tall glass with ice and pour the cold tea over it.
5. Top up with the cold water to lengthen.
6. Slip in the cucumber and lemon wheels, giving the lemon a gentle squeeze.
7. Tip: make a jugful and leave the cucumber and lemon in, for a clean, refreshing drink all day.
