Litchi Lemon Iced Tea

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is considered to be really into summer. Although A Tao in Guangdong, has long been hot to the explosion, but for example, my hometown of Hunan, before the Dragon Boat Festival, are still a little cool. Then further north, not to mention. This reminds me of when I was a kid, my family strictly followed a set of rules, that is, not until the Dragon Boat Festival, even if it is hot, but also absolutely not allowed to sleep on the floor to take a shower. And once the Dragon Boat Festival, then how cool how to come, mom will not have a problem.

Since the mother did not have a problem, then we have to make some strong ah, such as this bite down, from the stomach to the sky. Drinking this cup of tea, there must be a process, first stir and stir, to ensure that the syrup dissolves open, light drink a mouthful, try how acidity, if you feel not sour enough, the lemon slices dislike broken some, but pay attention to not dislike the lemon peel, otherwise there will be a bitter taste, after drinking, the heart will not have an empty feeling? Don't worry, we still have lychee meat to eat, this year's lychee are so sweet, dipped into some lemon acid instead of more flavorful, and finally the end, good teeth also have to crunch the ice. If I had this for afternoon tea every day, I'd want it to be summer all year round!

1. Can black tea be replaced by green tea?

Yes, it's all up to personal preference, but green tea will taste astringent, the overall color is completely different, I personally do not like it. In addition, the green tea will not need to boil hot water for so long, 80 degrees of water to soak a minute on the good.

2. What if I want to make more?

Today's recipe is 400ml to make 3 cups, if you want to make more, just multiply the recipe by a multiple.

3. How do I store it?

The drink made is not preserved, drink it as soon as possible within half an hour, otherwise the lemon slices will have a bitter release. In general, we do more syrup refrigerated sealed preservation, usually habitually freeze some ice, the refrigerator is always lemon, then want to drink, it is now brewing a pot of tea, a transfer is good.
