Ingredients
- 250 g raw sugar
- 350 ml water cold
- 3 lemon plural
- 7 tea the ones with strings on are best, in bags
- 1.5 l water boiling
- baking soda small teeny tiny pinch, pinch
- 300 ml water cold
- ice
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Pour the sugar and water into a small saucepan.
- Use a small knife to carefully remove the rind from the lemons. You want to get just the peel and leave behind as much of the white pith as possible.
- Add this to the sugar mixture.
- Slowly bring the mixture to the boil, swirling the pan rather than stirring.
- Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes until all of the sugar has dissolved
- Remove the syrup from the heat, pour into a small jug and allow to cool.
- Once the syrup has cooled it will keep in the fridge for at least a week.
- Take the teabags and twist the strings together so you can manoeuvre them easily.
- Place the teabags into a large jug or bowl, with the string and tabs over the edge.
- Pour over your water and swirl the teabags around once to start the steeping process.
- Leave the teabags to steep for 5 minutes then remove them. (Remember not to squeeze them)
- Add the pinch of baking soda and then start the cooling process by adding the cold water.
- Allow the tea to cool and then refrigerate until needed.
- To serve, pour the sugar syrup and iced tea into a large jug and stir gently.
- Fill your glasses with ice and serve the tea super chilled with some lemon slices.
