Here's a little recipe for a super
quick, super easy and super refreshing summer drink!
1 Orange
3 tsp agave syrup
2 tsp cinnamon
4-5 tsp black tea, loose
Bring 1 liter water to a boil in a tea
kettle. Prepare the tea by putting the cinnamon and agave syrup into
a tea pot/glass jar/whatever you use for tea. Measure 4-5 teaspoons
of black tea of your choice into a teabag. I usually use the
St.Petersburg black tea or simply Earl Grey. Add the boiling water.
Cut & squeeze the orange and add to the tea. Let the black tea
ziehen for 5 to 10 Minutes, but don't forget to take it out or else
it might be bitter (unless you like it that way, of course). Let cool
and serve!
Though many people prefer to drink iced
tea during the summer, I am usually too impatient to wait until the
tea has cooled down, so I drink it while it's still warm (and that is
still very refreshing!) Otherwise, just let it cool for an hour or so
and put in the fridge and/or add ice. You might want to use a little
bit more of everything if you intend to add ice later on, though,
because the melting ice might make the whole endeauvour a little too
watery – I yet have to try that myself. Also tastes great the next
day!
