Lemon Tea

Lemon tea is a refreshing beverage with a distinctive citrus flavour, most commonly prepared from a black or green tea base enhanced with lemon flavouring, lemongrass or fresh lemon slices. It is available as loose-leaf tea, tea bags and instant mixes. In the kitchen, it works well as a base for iced teas, punches or dressings. The gentle acidity of lemon pleasantly brightens both drinks and dishes. It also makes an excellent base for marinades for poultry or fish, where it naturally tenderises the meat.
