Zingy Iced Tea

Lovely thirst quenching, fresh tasting alternative to traditional long drinks. Enjoy it refreshing and healthy on its own, or liven it up with a splash of gin. And as this recipe makes approximately 1.5 litres, there's plenty to go around (or keep in the fridge for later).

What

2 Earl Grey teabags
1 litre water
8 Canderel tablets
3 limes
100ml gin (optional)
Handful mint leaves
½ litre lemonade
Ice cubes

How

In a large jug infuse the Earl Grey teabags in 1 litre boiling water for 3-5 minutes.

While waiting, add the Canderel tablets and allow to dissolve. Remove teabags and allow the tea to cool.

Squeeze the juice from 2 limes and add to the jug along with the gin, if using, and top up with lemonade.

To serve: Slice the remaining lime and add to jug with lots of ice and garnish with mint leaves.
