About the recipe
Sweetened with a little honey and flavoured with lemon and ginger, then garnished with fresh mint and lots of ice, this refreshing iced tea is the perfect summer go-to.
Ingredients
2 English Breakfast tea bags
6cm piece of ginger
2 lemons
½ a bunch of fresh mint (15g)
runny honey, to taste
1kg ice cubes
Top Tip
Make the everyday that little bit more exciting with some jazzed-up ice cubes. Simply pick herb leaves into the compartments of an ice-cube tray, slice or peel in strips of citrus zest and/or scatter in a few berries, then top up with boiled, cooled water and freeze!
Method
- Place the tea bags in a large heatproof jug and top up with 500ml of boiling water.
- Finely slice the ginger (there’s no need to peel it) and peel strips of zest from one of the lemons, then add to the jug with a few sprigs of mint, stirring in just enough honey to sweeten.
- Leave for 4 minutes to infuse, stir well, then add 500g of ice cubes to cool the tea right down.
- Place another 500g of ice cubes (see tip) into a serving jug and strain over the infused tea, then squeeze in the juice of 1 to 2 lemons, to taste.
- Add the remaining mint, slice up and add any leftover lemon, then pour into glasses and serve.
