Cold-Brew Iced Tea

This refreshing cold-brew iced tea is the ultimate thirst-quencher for warm afternoons and garden gatherings. By steeping the tea bags in cold water over a longer period, you extract a smoother, more delicate flavour without the bitterness often associated with traditional hot-brewed methods. It is a sophisticated, sugar-free alternative to shop-bought soft drinks that allows the natural notes of the black tea to shine through.

As a low-sugar beverage, this recipe is as healthy as it is hydrating, making it a brilliant staple for those looking for a lighter caffeine fix. Serve it in chilled tall glasses with plenty of ice and a few slices of zesty lemon for a classic finish. You can easily customise the brew by adding fresh mint sprigs or sliced cucumber for extra fragrance.
