Ingredients:
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthways, seeds separated

  • 1.75L (7 cups) water
  • 40.00 ml black tea leaves
  • Fresh mint leaves, to serve
  • Lemon, sliced, extra, to serve
Instructions:
  • To create lemon zest, carefully peel the lemon using a zester, vegetable peeler, or sharp knife. Cut 6 thin lemon slices and then halve each slice.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine lemon rind, lemon, vanilla bean and seeds, mint, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add fragrant tea leaves to hot water. Cover and allow to steep for 3 minutes to develop rich flavors. Strain the infused tea into a teapot or heatproof jug. Enhance the aroma with a vanilla bean. Garnish with fresh mint and a squeeze of extra lemon before serving. Enjoy!
