Lemon Iced Tea
The ultimate drink on a hot day, this sweet and tangy lemon iced tea is so easy to make at home. I love to mix up a batch and keep it in my fridge, perfect to sip across the week or serve to your friends for a simple, refreshing drink at your next party.
Servings: 8 serves
Ingredients
- 4 black tea bags
- 500 mL boiling water
- 1 L cold water
- 60 mL lemon juice about 1 large lemon
- 100 mL lemon cordial
Instructions
- Add teabags to a measuring jug and pour over boiling water. Allow to steep for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer hot tea into a large jug, big enough to hold at least 1.7L of liquid. Top with cold water, lemon juice and lemon cordial and stir well.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours to chill and then serve over ice. Alternatively, pour about 250mL of prepared tea into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to chill and strain into a glass filled with ice to enjoy immediately.
Notes
- My preference is to use sugar free cordial for my iced tea. Generally, regular cordial or sugar free versions will give the same level sweetness.
