We make ice tea with Lapsang Soo chong. It’s smokey and surprising as most ice teas are too flowery. To cut the smoke, I jam about five stalks of mint (again from the garden — spoiled girl) in a jug, then two or three tea bags and then pour boiling water over it all.
I don’t believe kids should drink caffeinated iced tea so they have lemonade. If they get jealous of the tea that all grown ups ooh and ahh over, they can have a splash in their cups!
Ingredients:
5 stalks fresh mint
three bags tea
Ice
Instructions:
In a large jug shove in the mint with 2 or 3 bags of tea depending on how strong you want it. Pour a kettle full of boiling water over all of it and let steep for 5 minutes.
Take out the tea bags and let the brew cool on the counter. Serve over ice. If you want lemon, go right ahead as it adds brightness. I like it both ways. No sugar needed.
