3 tablespoons sugar plus more to taste
1 bag green tea
½ cup boiling water
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ cup cold water
5 cubes ice
Add 3 tablespoons sugar and green tea bag to the boiling water. Allow the tea to steep about 3 minutes or so before discarding the bag. Stir to make sure the sugar has dissolved.
Add the lemon juice and ¾ cup cold water to the sweetened green tea mixture. Stir to combine well. Taste and if it’s too tart add more sugar to taste. Once you get the right level of sweetness, pour about half of the yield over lots of ice and enjoy.
Makes about 1 ½ before ice
