Home-made iced tea.

Frizzy drinks aren't exactly healthy, but I like to have something other than water at least once a day. To have a better option I've been making my own iced tea lately. It's a great refreshment after going for a jog, and less-sugar laden than soft drinks are. Here's how I make mine.

Whilst the kettle is heating I pick my tea. I use tea that doesn't taste bitter if it's brewed for a longer time. So I like to use rose-ship variations, fruit teas and camomile rather than black or green tea.

I make sure to switch the kettle off right before the water starts boiling. I pour about a litre of water in a jug and brew two bags of tea for 15-20 minutes. Then I transfer this to a bottle and add a tablespoon of honey. When this has cooled down to room temperature I like to mix some lemon juice in before putting it in the fridge.

One time I also added the juice of one orange. It looked a bit odd with all the pulp floating about, but it tasted nice! Then all you have to do is wait for the tea to cool down in the fridge.

Enjoy!
Sincerely,
R.
