2. THE INGREDIENTS :
a) 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
b) 2 ons (60 mL) lemon juice
c) 2 bags of black tea
T H E M AT E R I A L S :
a) A Bowl
b) A Glass
c) A Pitcher
4. STEP 2
Drop the 2 tea bags into the water and
remove from heat. Cover with a lid
and allow steeping for at least 1 hour.
Although, in general, black teas should
not be steeped for this long because of
the excessive release of bitter tannins,
this did not seem to be an issue when
brewing this much tea with only two
bags. Using more bags with a shorter
steep time generated a different flavor
profile that did not blend as nicely
with the lemon juice.
5. STEP 3
Once the tea has been
sufficiently
steeped, remove the tea
bags and add the sugar
and lemon juice. Stir
until the sugar
completely dissolves.
6. STEP 4
Pour tea into a pitcher
and add ice cubes until
the volume has
returned to two litres.
7. STEP 5
Pour into a
glass, add ice
cubes and
lemon wedges
