Ice Tea for all occasions! :D

Okay! I am a sucker for good iced tea and the summer makes it an imperative. This here, is a glass of Cola lemon Ice tea. But making the perfect mix is quite essential. Do not depend on the ready made Ice tea mixes! It can never measure up to freshly made tea. 

Ingredients

1) 500 ml water
2) 1 tsp Assam tea(Okay! That is what I used. Use anything which has a strong flavor. XD)
3) 4 to 5 tsp sugar.
4) 1/2 tsp salt.
5) Lemon juice from 1 lemon and Lemon Rind from 1/2 a lemon.
6) Cola.

Recipe

1) Boil the water. Turn the flame off and add the tea leaves and the lemon rind. Cover for 5-6 mins.
2) Stir the tea when it is done and add the sugar, lemon juice, rid and salt.
3) Bring it down to the room temperature. Sieve and chill for a few hours in a bottle.
4) Pour out equal parts cola and Ice tea with crushed ice into a glass. Add more lemon and sugar acc to taste and salt around the edge of the glass. So refreshing!!!
