CITRUS AND MINT ICED TEA

Steps:

• Use a vegetable peeler to strip the top layer of zest, avoiding the white pith, from two of the oranges, the lemon and the lime. (this step is totally optional, using the zest as well as the juice adds extra citrus flavour but make sure you don't leave it to steep for too long or it can get bitter).
• Place the zest (if using), the teabags, mint and sugar in a large jug and pour over the boiling water. Give it a stir then leave to steep for 10-15 minutes. Remove the teabags, squeezing them out to extract as much flavour as you can. Leave the mixture to cool until it is lukewarm.
• Squeeze the juice from the oranges, lemon and lime and add it to the jug. Pour the tea through a fine mesh sieve into another jug, discarding the bits.
• Slice an orange, a lemon and a lime. Strip the leaves from a few sprigs of mint and add them to a large jug. Fill the jug with ice and add the tea then serve. Alternatively the tea can be stored in the fridge and you can simply pour a glass as and when is needed.
