This homemade iced tea is very simple. Anyone can really do it. You only need 3 ingredients and you are almost done.
Iced tea cools down pleasantly during this heat, mint adds super freshness and tastes amazing... So come and refresh yourself with me!
Elderberry iced tea is a little different from other teas. I prepared it a little differently. Pour hot water over regular iced teas and let them infuse. I did not use any other teas. I used only fresh elderflowers, elderberry syrup, mint and lemons.
The tea smells beautifully of flowers, but at the same time it is fresh of lemons and mint... I believe you can't wait. So let's prepare it together!
Tips:
- are you expecting a visit? You don't have any drink, prepare this NON-ALCOHOLIC drink, or if you need something ALCOHOLIC, add vodka and the drink is ready..
- Let the flowers infuse really long enough to make their taste more intense...
- Prepare enough ice to make the drink even more refreshing
- don't forget to decorate the drink, save some flowers, some mint and lemon and it will definitely look better... and your guests will immediately taste it, because eyes eat/drink too 🙂
Homemade elderberry iced tea
Ingredients:
- 500 ml hot water
- 6 flowers base
- 400 ml winter water
- 3 lemons
- measure
- elderberry syrup, to taste
Approach:
- Shake out the elderflowers a little, because there may be small animals in them. We put 1 flower aside for later. Pour hot water over the remaining flowers and let them infuse.
- Fill the carafe with ice, add the juice of 1 lemon. Cut the second lemon into slices. We will put the third one aside for later, for decoration. Add mint leaves.
- Strain the tea from the flowers through a sieve and add cold water.
- Pour the tea into a carafe, add elderberry syrup for an even more intense taste.
- Put ice cubes, mint, lemon slices in a glass and pour tea. Finally, decorate with an elderflower and serve!
- Bon appetite!
