2tbsp organic black tea - either organic Assam or China
2tbsp organic muscovado sugar, or other brown sugar
1250ml freshly drawn water
275ml organic orange juice (ideally freshly squeezed)
Juice of ½ lime

For the garnish (optional):

½ sliced orange
½ sliced lemon
6 sprigs of fresh mint

Add sugar to pan, then add water and bring to the boil. Add the organic tea leaves, stir and brew for 15 minutes into a very strong organic black tea. Strain the organic tea and leave to get absolutely cold. When the organic tea is cold, put loads of ice into a glass jug and pour over the cold organic tea followed by the orange and lime juices. Give a good stir and add the fresh mint, orange and lemon slices, stir thoroughly, and serve in long glasses with ice.
