How to Make Pomegranate Iced Tea
Pomegranate Iced tea is a real thirst quencher on any day in the tropics. For one thing, it is an easy and delicious iced tea enhanced with the refreshing flavours of lemon, pomegranate, Sweet Basil or mint and it is a visually appealing drink.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 2 bags Lipton tea bags
- 4 tbsp demerara sugar or regular crystalsugar
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup smallof pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 lemon Cut Round slices
- Few Fresh Basil or Mint leaves
- 1 liter Cold water
- Few cubes Ice
Instructions
- Place a tea bag in a glass container with approximately half a cup of water. Allow it to steep for at least two hours at room temperature. You could even put the bag in boiling water and cool it but I prefer it this way. If desired, add lemon or lime juice or fresh mint to add flavour. I used Lipton (it is light) tea bags to make this chilled and visually enchanting, summertime favourite drink.
- Take a shaker. Pour the lemonade (lemon juice, sugar, and water) then the pomegranate juice and shake nicely. You can add honey or jaggery or plain sugar in place of Demerara sugar. In a glass add the pomegranate seeds, mint, ice, and muddle; top with the tea and garnish with mint leaves and a lime wedge.
- Most important of all, this Pomegranate Lemon Iced Tea is truly summer in a glass; full of delicate flavour, light and sparkly. This mocktail has divine ingredients like homemade lemonade, fresh pomegranate juice, and fresh basil.
Notes
You can increase or decrease the flavour of the pomegranate according to your taste. I like it really light and pink. You can add your favourite flavours. Add or remove Pomegranate, according to your taste.
