I’ve combined two of my favourite beverages and have created the best summer drink. Here’s my sparkling ginger infused lemon black iced tea…. try saying that in one breath!
As you all know, I love my orange pekoe from tea India and my bubbly water from my SodaStream. When it comes to summer drinks, I love them cold, refreshing and with a kick. So of course, I had to combine the two.
Here’s how you can make my version of sparkling iced tea.
Ingredients:
- 4 orange pekoe tea bags
- 2 cups of water
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- half an inch of ginger thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp + a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- SodaStream/carbonated water of choice
Process:
- Add tea bags, sugar, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, and thinly sliced ginger into boiling water. Let it steep for several minutes, stir and place in the refrigerator
- Once cooled, remove the ginger (and if you want added kick, you can muddle the ginger – I took mine out)
- Pour your tea concentrate mixture 1/3 of the cup you will be serving in
- Fill half the glass with ice
- Pour your SodaStream/carbonated water to the top (roughly 2/3 of your glass)
- If you want additional kick, add more lemon or ginger!
Voila! Enjoy the tangy refreshing iced tea in your backyard on a hot day!
