Equipment

  • large pot
  • jug

Ingredients
 

  • 1 liter water
  • 3 tea bags lemon tea
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup

SERVE WITH

  • slice of lemon
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  • Boil water.
  • Add the tea bags and your preferred sweetener. Let the tea brew and cool for at least 1 hour.
  • Use a funnel to pour the cooled tea into the jug.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Serve over ice cubes with a slice of lemon.

Notes

You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less agave syrup or honey. And if you don’t have both at home, just use one or the other, or replace it with any other sweetener like sugar, maple syrup, or whatever you have at home.
One more tip: I usually place the jug in the sink, so if anything spills, it won’t end up all over your kitchen.
