How To Make Iced Tea
For those who think making iced tea at home is utterly complex – let me prove you wrong. It requires less than 15 minutes to prepare iced tea. Brewing: The first and foremost step in making a lemon iced tea is brewing the decoction. Flavouring: Once the brewed tea is ready, flavour it with lemon juice or fruit puree/juice of your choice. Serving: Lemon Iced Tea tastes best when served on ice cubes with lemon wedges and fresh mint leaves.

My Tried and True Tips
Brewing Time: Only one thing can go wrong while making a lemon iced tea – steeping the tea for too long. The steeping time for tea leaves is not more than 5 – 6 minutes. Always add lemon or fruit puree after cooling down the tea and not to the hot decoction. Tea Variety: While black tea provides a strong base that pairs well with lemon, you can experiment with green or white tea for a lighter, more delicate flavour. Never, ever boil the tea leaves in water. You only need to steep the tea leaves in warm water for the perfect colour and taste. Use good organic honey or maple syrup to sweeten your iced tea. Or if you don’t bother about the calories, then use granulated white sugar. You can customize it as per your preference. Like, make orange iced tea or mango iced tea with the addition of fruit flavours.
