Cook Time: N/A
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
- 1 liter of water
- 4 teaspoons of black tea leaves (or 4 tea bags)
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 4 tablespoons of rose syrup
- 2-3 tablespoons of honey (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh rose petals for garnish (optional)
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Boil 1 liter of water in a saucepan. Once boiling, remove from heat and add in the black tea leaves or tea bags. Allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes to release the rich flavors and create a robust base.
- While the tea is steeping, freshly squeeze the lemons to extract their juice. The tangy aroma of freshly squeezed citrus juice will instantly add a refreshing zest to your drink.
- Strain the tea to remove the leaves or discard the tea bags. Allow the tea to cool down to room temperature.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, lemon juice, rose syrup, and honey. Stir well until the honey completely dissolves, creating a sweet and fragrant mixture.
- Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemon rose tea over the ice, allowing the cold temperature to enhance the drink’s refreshing qualities.
- Garnish with fresh rose petals and lemon slices for an elegant touch that will make your drink visually appealing.
- If you can’t find rose syrup, you can use rose water and sweeten it with extra honey.
- For a more natural sweetener, replace honey with agave nectar or stevia.
- Serve in chilled glasses for an extra touch of refreshment, especially on warm days.
- Add a few mint leaves for a fresh, herbal twist.
- Refrigerate the prepared lemon rose tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving.
- If black tea isn’t your preference, green tea or even white tea can be excellent substitutes, offering a lighter flavor profile.
- For a caffeine-free option, use herbal tea blends such as rooibos or chamomile instead of black tea.
- Pair your Lemon Rose Tea with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit tarts, or almond biscotti for a delightful tea-time treat.
- A fresh fruit salad or a delicate pastry can also make a lovely accompaniment, enhancing the overall experience.
