Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by combining 4 cups of high-quality filtered water with 4 tablespoons of Sirocco vanilla black tea in a large glass jar or pitcher. Stir gently to ensure the tea leaves are fully saturated. Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, allowing the tea to cold brew.
  2. While the tea brews, take a small saucepan and heat 1 cup of water over low heat. Add ¾ cup of sugar, stirring until it completely dissolves, then remove from heat. Once cooled, mix in 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  3. Fill your favorite glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour approximately 150ml of your homemade lemonade into the glass, then top it off with the chilled vanilla black tea infusion.
  4. Add a few fresh lemon slices to your glass as a garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing balance of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors.
  5. If you have leftover brewed tea, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
