This is the adult version of a lovely lemon iced tea! Great for summer entertaining or if you want a non-alcoholic version simply replace the 1/2 cup of vodka with soda water.

Ingredients:

• 3 teaspoons of black tea (can use tea bags if you prefer)
• 1/2 cup of boiling water
• 8 fresh mint sprigs
• 4 cups of lemonade 
• 1/2 cup of vodka
• 8 lemon slices ice cubes lemon slices and mint for garnishing

Instructions: 

1. Brew the tea for 4 minutes, can use a teapot or a bowl.
2. Place mint sprigs in a large jug, mash with handle of wooden spoon until slightly bruised.
3. Add lemon slices, pour in tea, lemonade and vodka.
4. Serve over ice cubes, add a lemon slice and mint sprig to each glass as garnish.

This recipe can be made 1 day ahead but don’t add the lemon slices (and soda water if making a non-alcoholic version) until just before serving. Enjoy!
