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

Recipe Cuisine: International | Recipe Category: Drinks
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

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😎.
