Iced Tea To make 3 litres of iced tea Fill your jug and bring to boil. Pour the boiling water over 5 tea bags in a heatproof glass container. Set the container aside and allow the tea to steep for 3 hours or overnight. Remove tea bags If you want "sweet tea," add a scant 3/4 cup of sugar and stir it until dissolved. Add a little more cold water and place in fridge to cool.
Pour into tall glass and add a lemon wedge to the side of the glass.. This is to be squeezed into the tea when drinking... Ice cubes for that hot summer day and a sprig of mint on the side.
Lime Mint Iced Tea
simple iced tea, with a twang of lime and hint of mint. It's both sweet and tart at the same time. The lime juice will be much better flavoured if freshly squeezed. INGREDIENTS:
• 1 quart water, boiling • 4 tea bags • 1 3/4 cups fresh mint leaves • 1/4 cup sugar • 1/4 cup lime juice
PREPARATION: Mix tea bags, mint and sugar in hot water, let steep for 15 minutes. Strain out the tea bags and mint leaves. Chill and add lime juice before serving. Serves 4

6 English Breakfast teabags 1.2 litres boiling water 275ml freshly squeezed orange juice, chilled squeezed juice of 1/2 lime 1/2 orange, sliced 1/2 lemon, sliced 2 level tablespoons caster sugar about 12 sprigs of fresh mint plenty of ice
METHOD make up some very strong tea (use a ceramic teapot wherever possible) using the teabags and boiling water. Add the caster sugar and about a third of the mint and then give it a good stir. Leave to infuse for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the tea bags and leave the tea until completely cold. Remove the mint sprigs. Part fill a large jug with ice and pour the cold tea into it. Now top up with the freshly squeezed orange juice, the lime juice and another third of the mint sprigs. Finally add the orange and lemon slices and then give it a really good stir. Serve the iced tea in tall glasses with lots of ice, decorated with a slice of lemon and small sprig of mint.
