Cold tea

Ingredients (for one person)
  1. 1/4 cup of boiling water
  2. 1 tea bag
  3. 1 table spoon of sugar
  4. 1 drop of vanilla
  5. 1/2 table spoon of lime juice
  6. 1/2 cup of ice water
  7. 3-4 ice cubs
Steps
  1. Prepare tea using boiling water as usual
  2. Add vanilla & let it season for 1-2 minutes
  3. Add tea, cold water, lime & ice cubes together
  4. Blend a bit (to crush ice cubes into small pieces - do not make them too small)
Things to try (or avoid)
  • Do not add lime to hot water, it will kill the taste & nourishment
  • I find Green tea unsuitable for this.
  • You might want to add few drops of ginger
Finally,
  • Clean up the mess
