Lemon ice tea

I've been drinking plenty of water these days since it's so hot I'm almost constantly thirsty. And well, one can get sick of water alone. So the other day I made me some ice tea, just for a change.

LEMON ICE TEA
makes: 1 litre

• 1 l water
• fresh peppermint branches (or 2-3 tea bags)
• a few pinches of green tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
• (some dried nettle leaves at will)
• 1 tbs sugar
• 1 organic lemon (wash and slice)
• ice cubes

Bring water to boil, then remove from heat and add herbs or tea bags. Let it soak according to instructions, then remove from water. Mix in sugar, then let it cool down completely.

Once cooled, add lemon slices, ice cubes and some fresh peppermint branches for garnish and serve cold.
