A Tasty Trio of Iced Teas made by Chef Ajay
Introduction:
Hello, fellow tea lovers! My name is Ajay and I am excited to share my favourite recipes for the perfect iced tea. This refreshing drink always makes me feel better, especially on hot summer days. Come with me as I make three amazing iced teas that will not only quench your thirst but also make your taste buds dance. Let us go on this flavorful adventure!
Recipe Name: Aam Panna Green Tea, Orange Tulsi Iced Tea, Classic Iced Tea
These iced teas are a great example of how powerful tea leaves and creative mixing can be. They are cool, energising, and full of flavour.
Aam Panna Green Tea:
Start by letting the green tea steep in warm water for 15 minutes. While that is going on, boil the raw mango, peel it, and take out the pulp. Blend the pulp with chaat masala, black pepper, cumin powder, black salt, fresh mint, and sugar syrup to make a tasty concentrate. In a glass, combine the Aam Panna concentrate with sugar syrup, water, and mint leaves. Add ice and stir well. Serve cold and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Orange Tulsi Iced Tea:
For 15 minutes, soak black tea leaves and mint in warm water. Dice an orange and pound it with brown sugar, ginger, and basil leaves. Pour the mixture into a glass and top it off with crushed ice, orange juice, and sugar syrup. Add soaked Sabza seeds, crushed basil leaves, and sliced orange. Top off the glass with black tea and stir. Add fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
Classic Iced Tea:
After soaking the black tea leaves and mint in warm water for 15 minutes, put the lemon juice, mint, orange slice, ice, sugar syrup, sabja seeds, water and tea liquor in a serving jar. Fill the glass with ice and pour in the chilled black tea. Stir the ingredients together well and serve cold. For a classic iced tea taste, garnish with fresh mint leaves.
