Iced Lemon Tea

Iced lemon tea is almost a must-have summer drink to cool down the body. First of all, ice can help cool the body down, and lemon can help stimulate the appetite and refresh the mind as people have no appetite in summer. On a whim, I bought a shaker to shake lemon tea. I wanted to find a recipe to learn how to shake it, but there was none. I remembered the steps they used when I bought it at the milk tea shop, but I couldn't figure it out, so I had to figure out a recipe myself.

It turns out that it is so busy to shoot and cook at the same time. Everyone has to hand in their homework so that I can have the motivation to continue writing recipes～～～

All the necessary items are prepared. If you want to drink the same strong lemon tea sold in milk tea shops outside, you must have a shaker. I bought a 530cc one. As for the black tea, I used the Mauritius vanilla flavored black tea I had at home, which is quite delicious.

Step 2

The first thing is of course to brew the tea. You need to decide the amount yourself, because everyone likes different concentrations, and each brand of black tea has a different brewing time. When you see a satisfactory tea color, you can filter the tea (of course, tea bags are more convenient and do not require filtering).

Step 3

Open the shaker, add lemon, honey, ice cubes and one third of tea

Step 4

After adding, cover the large lid first and then the small lid. Tips: Because we have hot tea in it, it will still be a little warm even with ice cubes. Be careful not to shake it too fast. Start by shaking it slowly. When you feel the air is about to rise, pull open the small lid and wait for the air to disappear before shaking again.

Step 5

The next step is to shake it as hard as you like. It's pretty much the same way you see them shake the milk tea in the milk tea shops, just shake it until the lemon flesh feels like it's falling apart. Um, about 30-40 times~~ Tips: If you are using a PC shaker for the first time, you may find the lid a little difficult to open because you are not used to it and the PC shaker itself is relatively sealed. Just open the small lid first and then the big lid.

Step 6

Pour all the remaining tea into the cup and add ice cubes to cool it. Also pour the lemon tea in the shaker into the mixture ~ OK ~ Adjust the amount of honey and the concentration of lemon according to your own taste. If you feel it is not lemony enough, pour it back into the shaker and shake it again. After all, you make it yourself, so just shake it to your favorite taste.

Step 7

The super healthy lemon tea you can drink by yourself is ready~~~~~ Making it yourself is really better than buying it. At least the honey is good~

Step 8

The last super practical tip is that when you go out in the summer, you really want to bring icy drinks with you. However, if you use ordinary bottles, even if you add ice cubes, they will still melt as the temperature rises. At this time, we should use the thermos we usually use to carry the food out, because we use it more to keep warm and less to keep cold. It is actually super useful, especially when going to the beach, right! ! So make good use of our thermos

Tips

Most of the lemon teas sold in the market are concentrated juices, so it is healthier to make your own.
