Black Lemon Tea Recipe
Ingredients:
2.5 cups water
2 tsp sugar or jaggery
1/2 tsp black tea leaves
A few drops of lemon juice
Instructions:
Prepare the Sweetened Water:
In a saucepan, pour 2.5 cups of water.
Add 2 tsp of sugar or jaggery.
Mix well and bring the water to a boil.
Allow it to boil until the water reduces to 2 cups. This concentrates the sweetness.
Infuse the Tea:
Once the water reduces to 2 cups, turn off the flame.
Immediately add 1/2 tsp of black tea leaves into the hot water.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it steep for 2 minutes.
This step allows the tea leaves to release their flavors into the water without boiling, ensuring a smoother taste.
Add Lemon and Strain:
After 2 minutes, remove the lid and add a few drops of lemon juice according to your preference.
Mix well to incorporate the lemon flavor into the tea.
Now, strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser into cups.
Tips for a Perfect Cup:
Proper Boiling: Ensure that you boil the water with sugar or jaggery properly before adding the tea leaves. This helps in dissolving the sweetener and infusing the water with sweetness evenly.
Avoid Boiling Tea Leaves: Never boil the tea leaves directly in water. Boiling tea leaves can release tannins, resulting in a bitter taste. Adding them after turning off the flame preserves the delicate flavors of the tea.
Covering After Adding Tea Leaves: Allowing the tea leaves to steep with the lid on after turning off the flame enhances the fragrance and flavor of the tea, giving you a more aromatic cup.
By following these steps and tips, you'll brew a perfect cup of black lemon tea with a delightful balance of sweetness and citrusy notes. Enjoy your refreshing beverage!
