Ice Tea with ginger and Lime

I am not a great fan of ice tea and never had one, but experimented this at home and enjoyed every sip of it; on a hot summer day or when you have mild headache ginger and lime with tea helps to ease the pain.

Ingredients:

1. Water to brew tea
2. Tea powder or 1 tea bag that’s available at home
3. Few ice cubes
4. Ginger julienne
5. Thinly Sliced lime – 2
6. Honey – 2 tbl spn or as needed
7. Tulsi/basil or mint leaves (optional)

How to prepare:

1. Warm water in a pan, and add the tea powder. Let it brew in low heat for 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and allow to bring it to room temperature
3. In a glass place the lime slices at the bottom, top it with few ginger julienne followed by ice cubes.
4. Pour honey followed by the brewed tea
5. Stir lightly to mix the honey with tea and ice
6. Decorate with mint/Tulsi leaves, left over ginger julienne and lime
7. Sit back and enjoy the mixture of flavors along with tea.

Note:

• The same steps can be followed if you prefer hot lime tea or ginger tea. Omit the ice cubes. A easy method.
• You may also add the ginger julienne while brewing the tea if you prefer strong tea.
