I had another stab at making home made iced tea last night. I’ve tasted the results today after getting in nicely chilled in the fridge for 24 hours and I must say I’m rather pleased with the result.
I used a 2 litre lock and lock jug to make it in, so you may need to adjust quantities if your jug is larger or smaller.
4 earl grey tea bags
1.5 litres boiling water
1 lemon
sugar to taste
Place 4 earl grey tea bags into your jug.
Pour on 1.5 litres of boiling water.
At this stage, add sugar to taste. (I added 8 teaspoons to the mix, but having tasted it tonight I need to add a little more as it’s just not quite sweet enough.)
Allow tea to stand for a minimum of 30 minutes and then remove the teabags from your jug.
Drop in 1 lemon which has been cut into slices then make up the jug to the 2 litre mark with cold water.
When cold, place in fridge and allow to chill completely.
Lastly, pour yourself a glass and enjoy!!
