Lemon iced tea is the safest mocktail to order at cafes and restaurants. It is an ideal meal partner - not too zesty or overpowering. It complements fried food, heavy Indian delicacies, and cheesy delights. Here is how you can brew it at home.
2 tbsp black tea powder 5.25 cups of water Ice cubes ½ cup sugar Lemon slices 3 tbsp lemon juice
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add tea leaves to it.
Add sugar and let the tea leaves release their flavour.
After the tea has steeped, add lemon juice and stir with a spoon.
Strain the concoction and let it cool off. Refrigerate to chill the blend.
Add 4-5 ice cubes to a glass and pour iced tea.
