Iced Lemon Tea Pitcher with Tetley Original English Breakfast
teas.co.uk · 10 min plus cooling · Serves 4
You'll need
- 4 tea bags of Tetley Original English Breakfast
- 600ml freshly boiled water (100C)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar or honey, to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon, plus extra slices to serve
- 400ml cold water and plenty of ice
- Mint to serve (optional)
Method
- Pour the freshly boiled water over the tea bags in a heatproof jug and steep for 4 minutes. This black tea takes the full boil.
- Lift out the bags, stir in the sugar while the tea is hot so it dissolves, then add the lemon juice and let it cool.
- Top with the cold water and a generous amount of ice to bring it to strength and chill it down.
- Add lemon slices and mint, and serve over more ice.
- If the chilled tea turns cloudy, stir in a small splash of just boiled water and it will clear again.
