How To Make A Great Iced Tea

Place 4 heaped tspns in 1 Litre of boiled water in a container / iced tea jug, and infuse for at least *20 mins for a strong flavour. Fill ¾ of a large jug with ice, adding slices of fresh fruit or mint to garnish (strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate – let your head go here!) Pour cooled infusion over ice. Top up with more ice before serving. Sweet Tooths can add sugar when the infusion is hot.
– also great as a base for a party punch. Add dry/strawberry champagne or gin/vodka.

* The majority of fruit blends can form a concentrate, which is very cost effective. To create a concentrate, leave infusion overnight. Strain fruit off, and dilute the concentrate 50/50 with ice and water, or if you prefer a little sparkle, use soda or mineral water. This will stretch it further for a crowd, or yourself.

Place 3 heaped tspns in 1 Litre of COLD water in a container / iced tea jug, and leave infusion overnight – room temperature is fine. If time pressed, a 3 hours infusion can give you sufficient flavour.

In morning, strain liquid in to an iced tea jug, serve to a glass with lots of ice. Add fruit of choice to glass, or iced tea jug. Most fruit is there for visual impact – only citrus fruit affects the flavour, usually within 20-30 mins.
