Key Ingredients- 50ml Hot Water (approx. 1/4 cup)
- 1 Black Tea Bag (your favorite kind of black tea)
- 7 Ice Cubes (or more, to taste)
- 150ml Lemon Juice or Lemonade (approx. 3/4 cup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the hot water. Pour 50ml of hot water into a small bowl or mug. Steep one black tea bag in the hot water for about 3-5 minutes to create a concentrated brew. Be mindful not to over-steep, as this can result in a bitter taste. Once brewed, remove the tea bag and let the tea concentrate cool slightly.
Step 2
Fill your serving glass generously with ice cubes, about 7 should do, but feel free to add more if you prefer it extra cold. Carefully pour the cooled, concentrated black tea over the ice in the glass.
Step 3
Finally, add 150ml of lemon juice or your favorite store-bought lemonade to the glass. Gently stir everything together to combine the tea, lemon, and ice. Your homemade Starbucks-style Black Tea Lemonade is ready to be enjoyed! Savor the perfect balance of tart, sweet, and tea flavors.
