Iced tea with ginger, spearmint and honey
Ingredients:
6 cups water
1/4 cup ginger, peeled and chopped
3–6 green tea bags (depending on how strong you want it to come out)
1/2 cup spearmint leaves and a few more for serving
1/3 cup Oros Machaira honey
1 lemon, cut in two
Method:
1. Put the water and the pieces of ginger in a small saucepan. As soon as they come to a boil, remove them from the heat and add the tea bags and the mint leaves. Cover the pot and set it aside for about 15 minutes.
2. Strain the tea. Add the honey and the juice of half a lemon to the drink. Transfer it to a jug, let it cool to room temperature and then put it in the fridge.
3. Cut the remaining half of the lemon into thin slices and, when you are about to serve the tea, add 1–2 slices to each glass, along with ice cubes and a few spearmint leaves.
