If you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful way to quench your summer thirst, why not try a saffron lemon ice tea. This delicious drink combines the refreshing citrus notes of lemons with the subtle spiciness of saffron, resulting in a harmonious and refreshing combination. The saffron not only gives the ice tea a fascinating golden color, but also refines it with its unique aroma.
Consuming saffron lemon ice tea is not only a good thirst quencher, it has also health benefits. Saffron is considered a spice with antioxidant and calming properties. Lemons, on the other hand, are rich in vitamin C and support the immune system.
So, why not take a break, relax and enjoy a refreshing cup of saffron lemon ice tea? If you prepare this for your guests, the surprise effect is guaranteed!
Preparation
For half a liter of iced tea, about a teaspoon point of saffron threads should be finely ground.
Put your favorite black tea in a tea bag and add the ground saffron.
Boil water and pour it over the tea bag. Let it steep for about 4 minutes.
Remove the tea bag and briefly cool the tea. If you have access to a large, free freezer compartment, you can simply put the tea in it for a few minutes. Alternatively, put ice cubes in the sink or a large pot and cool the tea in the ice bath.
Squeeze the lemons and pour the juice through a fine sieve. Then mix it with the tea. If you want, you can sweeten the tea a little.
To serve, put a few lemon slices and ice cubes in a glass and pour the tea over them. Ready!
We wish you a good start into the summer! :)
