When summer arrives, you can see all kinds of iced drinks on the streets and alleys. The shape and color are pleasing to the eye, the taste is diverse, and one cup is hand-held, but, deep in memory, the most missed cup of lemon tea is.
In the summer when I was young, there were not so many cold drinks of all kinds now, and it was not like the water that can be seen everywhere now. If you are thirsty, buy a glass and drink while shopping.
At that time, the most thirst quenching was the colorful soda drinks in the canteen, filled with red, red, green and green sodas in thin-necked glass bottles, a few cents a bottle, a pry of the corkscrew, a straw, and a gurgling drink. , That's called a Qin Shuang. If you want to take it away, the boss will help you pour it into a plastic bag. After drinking, everyone’s tongue is colorful.
We like to drink tea, morning tea, afternoon tea and evening tea, basically drinking from morning to night. This tea is not a dry drink. When you drink tea, there will be a variety of dim sums, just like Cantonese tea restaurants, except that there are more dim sums. Ours is called "Dad Tea". With Dad’s tea, the most exciting thing for children is that they can drink a cup of iced lemon black tea. This lemon tea is not available anywhere else, it can only be drunk in tea shops. Moreover, in the era of a few cents a bottle of soda, a cup of lemon tea for 3 yuan can be regarded as a luxury.
The light red tea soup is packed in a plastic cup with a thick layer of saccharin at the bottom. The ice cubes and sliced lemon are half sinking and half floating in the tea soup. The cup is inserted with a colorful striped straw and a colorful plastic tube. This plastic The top of the tube is like a coin, and the bottom end is round for pounding lemons. After a few pounding, the lemon pulp and juice will come out, stir the saccharin at the bottom a little, drink a few mouthfuls, cool and refreshing, the lemon pulp splashes sweet and sour juice in the mouth, and pull a piece of ice. "Cack bang bang bang", the heat has been dissipated a lot. When the bottom of the drink was reached, I took out the lemon slices with little pulp left, sucked the tea on it, and chewed it. It was bitter and sour, and the hairs all over the body were erected, but it was very enjoyable.
Moreover, drinking lemon tea in a tea shop has another benefit, that is, you can refill it indefinitely. The boss will give you a pot of black tea, and pour it yourself after drinking, so that a cup of lemon black tea can be drunk from the afternoon to home for dinner.
But, after all, you can't go to a tea shop to drink every day, you can't afford it! Therefore, in the summer, my house will have a repertoire, which is homemade lemon tea, which is what we look forward to every summer.
To make lemon tea, you need to pick green lemon, which is sour. 2 yuan per catty, usually a few catties per purchase. Rub the skin of the lemon with salt, remove the pesticide residue, wash and slice it. Boil water in a large pot for cooking rice, add black tea, boil for 3 minutes, turn off the heat and soak for 3 minutes, then decanted the tea, put half of the lemon slices into the black tea, add enough sugar, and squeeze the other half of the lemon slices out by hand Throw the juice in, and stir evenly. The lemon tea pot is as big as 3 footballs. Put the lemon tea into a small pot and put it in the refrigerator. When you want to drink, take a cup and scoop it directly.
The prepared lemon tea will also be given to neighbors, and they will be served even in the pot.
When drinking lemon tea, one often stirs up a pot of spicy snails. In the sultry afternoon, one mouthful of snails and one mouthful of tea. This is also a little blessing in summer! "
