Orange-Lemon Tea Fizz

Nothing can beat a glass of chilled lemon tea as an accompaniment to a pizza, sub or a sizzler! The best part is this can be made in advance and refigerated. So that you can chill out when you have to serve this..

Lots of variations could be tried.. The first one is Orange-Lemon Tea and the second one is Lemon - Ginger Iced Tea... The secret of a good iced tea is to make the tea decoction and cool it completely before flavouring it. And of course, it is all in the way you serve it.

Take a tall glass, first fill it with lots of ice cubes and pour the tea. And chill out..

Orange - Lemon Tea

3 cups boiling water
1-2 tea bags
Sugar to taste

  1. you'll be surprised how easier it is to make hot tea in hostel actually. Take the glass, suspend the tea bag, throw in some sugar(borrowed from mess), place it underneath the hot water outlet of the Water Doctor...

    voila! instant tea..:)
