Hot summer days are made more refreshing with iced tea but some teas tend towards bitterness when you ice them. After searching the internet for iced tea recipes we've come up with very little to go on, so our Iced Tea recipes have been done by trial and error.
Instructions for Black Currant Iced Tea
Boil about a litre of water (about 4 cups). Put 3 Black Currant Tea bags in a glass container that can take the heat of the boiling water and will be easy to pour from. Pour the boiling water over the tea bags.
Let steep for 5 to 6 minutes (any longer and it may taste bitter). Remove the tea bags.
Let the tea cool in the glass container for about an hour. Transfer the tea into another container for storage if you like. Refrigerate for about an hour.
Pour over ice into glasses and add a squeeze of lemon.
We get our Black Currant Tea from Murchies Tea and Coffee Ltd. This is a caffeine rich tea, so it is very stimulating!
