Iced Tea!


Yes in Australia Summer is on it's way ... Here in Melbourne it's one day hot the other chilly but still it's time for Iced Tea!
It doesn't matter what blend you love... Most of SerendipiTea's blends go down well on ICE, and even better as a tasty alcoholic beverage! (remember ... drink sensibly!)

Here are two recipes I'm quite fond of:

Gin tile Tea

Ingredients:

  • 2 parts Gin
  • 2 parts brewed and chilled SerendipiTea Earl Grey Tea
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Spoonful of sugar
  • lime slices

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into an old fashioned glass filled with ice.
  2. Garnish with lime slices.

Prepare the tea syrup:

  • Place tea in a 2-cup measure.
  • Add boiling water to fill.
