Not only is it much more economical than buying Ice Tea in the supermarket, but it's also much healthier.
This drink will quench your thirst and you will rediscover the true taste of iced tea like the old fashioned way.
Not something super sweet and full of additives!
Plus, you're really going to get all the health benefits of tea, as well as lemon.
- For a more intense flavored iced tea, simply steep the tea longer, up to 4 hours. Taste occasionally to make sure the tea doesn't get too strong.
- For the tea to retain all its benefits, it is best to use water at room temperature , rather than boiling water. In this way, the vitamins and minerals of the tea are preserved. The taste of the tea is also less bitter, because the tannin does not settle at the bottom of the carafe.
- If you like your tea to be more fragrant, you can let the slice of organic lemon steep in the iced tea. Of course, you can also squeeze several slices of lemon to accentuate the taste.
- Want your tea to cool faster? Put it in the freezer for 1 hour, after infusing it. The best is also to prepare a large quantity of tea that you leave cool. Whenever you feel like it, pour yourself a glass and squeeze the lemon juice into it.
- Know that you can keep your tea cool for 24 hours, without it oxidizing.
- You can also add red fruits or raspberries to bring even more flavor to your cold drink.
- And why not vary the pleasures by changing the tea:black tea, jasmine tea, white tea?
