Ingredients

  • 160ml cold Earl Grey tea

  • 70ml lemonade base

  • 1 slice of lemon

  • 1 sprig of mint

  • 5–6 ice cubes

  • Tea

  • 10g ARKET Earl Grey tea

  • 1000ml water

  • Lemon syrup (about 700ml)

  • 500g sugar

  • 500g water

  • Zest from 2 lemons

  • Lemonade base (300ml)

  • 200ml lemon syrup

  • 100ml lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

Method

  1. Prepare the tea: Use 10g of Earl Grey tea leaves to brew 1 litre of tea. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep for 3–4 minutes. Strain and allow it to cool down, then store in the fridge to chill.

     

  2. Prepare the lemon syrup: Grate the lemons using a Microplane grater and put the zest in a saucepan with the sugar and water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Leave to cool and strain out the zest.

     

  3. Prepare the lemonade base: Juice the zested lemons and blend with 200ml of the lemon syrup.

     

  4. The recipes for the tea and the lemon syrup are large batches – easy to prepare and keep in the fridge for later.
