The taste is mellow, sweet and sour, especially suitable for iced drinks for quenching thirst and heat in summer. In summer, the best-selling products in iced drink shops are as popular as lemonade.
Some people have a misunderstanding about making iced drinks in summer, because people who like to drink beverages like sweet drinks, they make iced drinks a bit sweet. Actually, it is not suitable for too sweet drinks to quench thirst and heat in summer. It is suitable for drinks that are sweet and sour but not Beverages that are too heavy are suitable for quenching thirst. (Personal opinion, I really prefer sweetness, so you can decide for yourself. Ordinary people still don’t eat too sweet drinks. The sweetness is too strong, which is only suitable for pleasure and not suitable for quenching thirst and relieving heat)"

Ingredients

Some Black Tea
Some Ice Cube
Some Honey
Some Lemon Juice

Iced Red Tea

1. The right amount of ice cubes can be taken out in advance and placed in the shipping container.

2. In a 460ml cup, add two-thirds of the volume of ice cubes, add about 2ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice (or add one or two slices of one or two millimeters thick lemon slices or lemon slices marinated in sugar), and then measure 15 Add to 20ml of honey (fructose can also be added), it can be adjusted according to the taste. In the later stage, the iced water will lighten the taste, and you need to add honey to increase the sweetness.

3. Prepare the black tea water that is boiled in advance to make milk tea. (For black tea and water ratio and boiling method, please see the recipe "black tea with milk tea ingredients")

4. Add to the cup until the volume reaches about 450ml. Put the stirring rod, and the drink straw.

Tips:
1. Iced black tea is the same as lemonade, it is used to quench thirst and heat, not too sweet.
2. Add ice black tea instead of adding too much honey directly. Use 15-20 ml as the basis and adjust according to taste.
3. Add iced black tea, after iced, the sweetness will dilute, you can add honey to adjust.
4. The effect of adding lemon. Because black tea has a mellow taste and slightly bitter taste, it is not easy to reconcile the bitterness of tea by sweetness alone. Lemon has a better blending effect. After adding lemon, it will taste sour and sweet, which is more suitable for quenching thirst in summer. Set off, can gain each other.
5. The ingredients for making hot black tea will be slightly different, and the method will be released later.
