teas.co.uk · 15 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Lipton Black Tea with Spanish Lemons
• 200ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 200ml cold still water
• 2 thin fresh lemon wheels
• 1/2 teaspoon of clear honey
• 1 fresh mint sprig
• 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. Steep the 2 tea bags in 200ml just boiled water for four minutes with a saucer over the top, then lift the bags out.
2. While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey until it has completely dissolved.
3. Cool the brew right down, standing the jug in cold water or putting it in the fridge.
4. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the cooled tea over.
5. Lengthen it with the cold water, sliding it in down the back of a spoon.
6. Drop in the lemon wheels, then clap the mint between your hands to release the scent and add it.
7. Tip: taste before serving and stir in a touch more honey if your lemons are especially sharp.
