TIPS

Here are a few tips for making a perfect Classic Lemon Iced Tea:

  • Stronger Tea: Steep the tea longer or use two tea bags for a bolder flavour.
  • Sweeter Taste: Adjust the honey quantity to suit your preference or use a natural sweetener like agave.
  • Herbal Infusion: Add mint or basil leaves for an extra layer of flavour.
  • Chilled Faster: Use cold brewed tea by steeping tea leaves in cold water for several hours.
  • Caffeine-Free Option: Use decaffeinated black tea or herbal alternatives like rooibos.

VARIATIONS

  • Fruity Twist: Add fresh orange or lime slices for a citrusy boost.
  • Spiced Up: Infuse with cinnamon sticks or star anise for a warm undertone.
  • Iced Green Tea: Replace black tea with green tea for a lighter taste and more antioxidants.
  • Honey-Free Version: Swap honey for maple syrup or coconut sugar for a different sweetness profile.
  • Sparkling Tea: Mix in carbonated water for a fizzy variation.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving.
  • Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for later use in iced tea or smoothies.
  • Best Fresh: Enjoy immediately for optimal flavour and freshness.
