Hong Kong Style Lemon Tea

Ingredients

• 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 2 litres of water
• 2 or 3 teabags (black tea)

Directions:

To start, bring the water up to the boil and while simmering, drop in the teabags. Squeeze the lemon’s juice into the tea and then drop in the remaining lemon peal. The outer yellow part of the lemon peal contains oils that help flavour the drink. The white, pith, of the lemon peal is unwanted as it can give the drink a bitter taste. Let them stew for 3 minutes or so. Remove the tea bags and lemon skins and add the sugar, stir to ensure that it all dissolves.
