When we were in Canterbury, I picked up some cans of iced tea to keep in the fridge. They were pleasant, but definitely a "convenience food" - at home it is much easier to make from scratch. I use this recipe from the BBC, but I skip the oranges and the mint. And use whatever sugar is to hand.
What is your go-to cool drink on a hot day?
Just cold filtered water from the jug in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good at drinking plain cold water, I'm afraid.
DeleteI'm like Sue and I just drink water. Doesn't even have to be super cold.
ReplyDeleteOne alternative is to get hold of some Cleavers /Goose Grass and after giving it a quick wash, put it into your carafe and fill it with water. Refrigerate for a day and then remove the Goose grass and it tastes like Cucumber water but has health benefits. Google it to see what those are
This is a new idea. Thanks K
DeleteSomewhere I learned that leaving a teabag in a pint of water overnight was the best way of making cold tea; infusing rather than boiling makes it less bitter. I use green tea for this.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried iced 🌿 green tea (yet!)
