In the early 1950's my grandmother made this tea for me, it is still my favorite! Sweet and tangy, a real treat when the weather is in the 90's and good warmed during the freezing winter time. Enjoy! A big thanks to Grandma Prescott Ingredients:
1 tablespoon loose orange pekoe tea leaves |
2 cups water |
1 cup sugar |
1 lemon |
6 cups water |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan add 1 tablespoon Lipton orange pekoe loose tea to 2 cups of water.
2. Bring mixture to a low boil,.
3. Add 1 cup of sugar and the juice of 1 lemon.
4. Slice lemon pieces and add to mixture.
