Classic English Breakfast Iced Tea Recipe
Classic English Breakfast Iced Tea RecipeUPDATED JUNE 2022
INGREDIENTS:
*4 heaped Tbls. Organic English Breakfast Tea
* 4 Cups pure water, boiled
* 3-4 Tbsp. local honey (sweeten to your taste) or sweetener of choice
* Juice of 1-2 lemons or oranges
* Slices of 1 lemon or orange
* Sprigs of fresh mint or basil
* Lots of ice
INSTRUCTIONS
• In a large pot bring water to a full rolling boil
• Turn off heat and add in tea
• Cover and steep for 4 – 5 minutes (or until desired strength is achieved. The longer black tea is steeped, the more tannins are pulled from the tea leaf and the more astringent the tea will be.)

• Let the tea cool and store in the fridge
• Once chilled add the juice of 1 – 2 lemons and/or oranges to the tea
• Add extra sliced lemons, oranges or limes ( or all 3)
• Fill a glass or glasses with lots of ice, pour in tea and garnish with fresh herbs
• Enjoy!
