Boil water add 200ml to cover the tea for 1 minute to flash brew then add the remaining 800ml of cold water, refrigerate for 2 hours minimum, longer for a stronger taste.
Taste and strain. Add lemon juice and syrup to taste - the idea is to balance the lemon and syrup, citrus/sweet to make it refreshing, but still retain the taste of the tea.
Add fresh fruit and mint to garnish. Using seasonal fruit availability this recipe can easily be adapted.
TIP: You can make iced cubes from any left over iced tea. This stops the drinks from diluting.
