This caffeine free lemon iced tea is easy and perfect for a picnic, bbq or just brunch.
I knew I liked iced tea before I even knew what iced tea was.
It was a Sierra Leonean thing. Basically, I
would store all my pots of leftover lemon / lime tea in the fridge to
avoid encouraging all the insects that popped up whenever I left food
lying around.
Somewhere along the line, I realised that
this cold tea, chock-a-block with ice, made hot days so much better. And
my ‘col tea’ was born.
