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
• Enough cubed ice (about 250g)

Method

1. Boil the kettle and give it time to drop to around 80C so the cucumber green tea does not scorch; check with a thermometer or a kettle preset.
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.
