Iced Cherry Bakewell Tea with Yorkshire Tea
A jug of iced tea that drinks like cherry Bakewell, fruity cherry lifted with lemon and softened with almond.
The Cherry Bakewell brew makes a brilliant iced tea. Chilled down, the cherry turns bright and juicy, the almond keeps it from being one note, and a squeeze of lemon sharpens the whole thing up. It really does drink like a pudding in a glass.
