Hi everyone,
it's still freaking hot in the Netherlands, so I think this is the best time to post my last article in the Cold drinks for summer series. Because if not, I will have to wait for a very long time. So let's get started:
#3 Ice Tea
What do you need? ( amount: each cup with 0,5 litre )
( For one person )○ 2 teabags or 2 scoops of tea ( I used green tea and fruit tea )
○ 0,5 litre of water
○ 1 - 3 tablespoon(s) of sugar or honey
○ And if you want some extra flavour to your ice tea you can add some lemon or lime slices or if you want to keep it more fresh then you can also add some mint leaves.
BTW I'm going to show you how to make ice tea with green tea flavour and with fruit tea flavour.
I'm going to start with the fruit tea.
Step One
First thing first: you need some boiling water to begin with. And of course a bottle where you can put the tea in.
Step Two
Add the teabag to the water and let is set for about three minutes.
Step Three
After the whole water has turned in to the colour of the tea, take it out the water and add the honey or sugar. I chose for honey because if the water isn't hot enough, the sugar will not melt? and if you use honey you are guarantee that it will melt.
Step Four
After adding the honey, I have add the lemonjuice. I didn't have any lemons anymore at that moment but I found lemon juice and that's what you want actually if you also add some lemon slices to the ice tea. The main purpose is the juice from the lemon.
Step Five
Finally, as extra, add some mint leaves in the liquid.
Step Six
Put the ice tea in the fridge until it's cold enough to serve. I put the ice tea in the fridge for about three and an half hour.
AND now it's time for the ice tea with the green flavour.
Step One
It's basically the same steps as by the fruit tea instructions, but I'll explain it again but a little bit less complicated.
So first thing to do: Add boiling water to a bottle and put the teabags in to it.
Step Two
Add the lemonjuice, the honey and the mint leaves to it.
Step Three
When everything is added to the bottle, you can put it in the fridge.

Time to make it presentable:
But okay, that was my little note. Hope you enjoyed it and liked it. Stay alive and survive this summer haha.
