Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. Black or Green Tea ,or 1 bag loose leaves
- 1 Fresh Lemon
- 1 long lime
- 300 ml Hot Water
- 2 tbsp. rock syrup or other syrup
Instructions
- Steep the tea base: Add water to the tea mixture. If you are using black tea, add hot boiling water. Cover the lid and steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain the tea base out. I love to add some ice cubes to cool down the base quickly.
- Cut lemon int and lime into slices around 1 cm thick and then pick the seeds out.
- Place lemon and lime slices along with ice cubes in a shaking cup, and use a muddler to break the lemon juice and flavors from the skin.
- Pour in the black tea base and add syrup. Combine well by either shaking or stirring. Then transfer to serving cups.
