A family classic to warm your heart. This simple tea, which I have discovered is not something a lot of people make, is perfect to enjoy after dinner, in the morning, or basically any time of the day. I am fairly sure lemon tea a commonly Polish drink. My mother always used to make it for us when we were sick, or if the weather was particularly harsh. Now, I like to have it every day, and visits to my dad always include a large pot of this sweet, zippy tea.Ingredients:
- One black tea bag.
- I use Barry's Irish Breakfast for a stronger tea or Twining's English Breakfast for a weaker tea.
- Half of a lemon
- 5-7 teaspoons of sugar, depending on how sweet you want the tea to be
- Enough hot water to fill a teapot
Bring water to a boil in a teakettle.
While waiting, place a teabag in a teapot. Add juice from half a lemon and the sugar. Pour hot water into teapot.
Stir until sugar is dissolved completely. Let steep for at least five minutes until the tea is a warm, honey-golden color.
Enjoy! And let me know what you think!
P.S. I know this doesn't seem like much of a recipe, but hey! I messed up the one I was planning on posting today. This is the easy way out.
