I drink Iced lemon tea only when I go to cinemas. That too I got the habit from Vj. Not habit, but I say very firmly I don’t want any drink everytime, but whatever Vj gets, I have few sips from his drink 😊. But few times I bought bottled iced green lemon tea and had it. I am allergic to tea, I sit like an owl in nights if I have tea, so I drink very rarely. For this summer, I always feel like having something icy cold after the house chores. Most of the time it will be nannaari sarbath with lemon as I have the syrup. But yesterday somehow felt like having ice lemon tea. But I wanted to make use of the lemons too before they get wasted, so made this today and made a post too 😉.
Iced lemon tea recipe

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 5 mins | Serves: 1
Ingredients
Tea powder – 1 tbsp
Water – 1 & 1/2 cups
Sugar – 2 tbsp (or as per ur taste)
Lemon juice – 1 tblsp
Water – 1 & 1/2 cups
Sugar – 2 tbsp (or as per ur taste)
Lemon juice – 1 tblsp
Method
- Bring water to boil until it bubbles, then add the tea and boil in medium flame for 3 minutes.
- Filter through a tea strainer and add sugar, mix to dissolve it. Cool down to room temperature.
- Squeeze lemon in the tea. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the tea over it and enjoy!
Notes
- Add tea powder only after water boils for best results. Do not boil more than 3 minutes as it may turn strong and bitter.
- I used larger tea granules/ leaves so if using finer tea leaves/ powder, reduce the amount. Refer the back of the pack for instructions.
- Keep covered while the tea comes to room temperature to retain its flavor.
- Adjust lemon juice and sugar as per your taste. I used one whole lemon’s juice.
Serve it icy cold, as it is ICED lemon tea. Also add ice cubes generously. Keep hydrated this summer😎.
