Lemon Ice Tea with Normal Tea

Lemon Ice Tea with Normal Tea
Hi Friends,
After a long hectic day you need something lite and refreshing to freshen you up. which is not complicated to make, don't required fancy ingredients, tasty and healthy. means it could be a cup of tea/coffee/shake etc but sometimes crave for something different. So one fine evening i was feeling same and thought to have ice tea which i use to make with store bought Ice tea packet but this time i was out of stock so thought to make with available ingredients. 

I chose normal tea which is always available in any household. I was bit doubtful about the taste as i don't take tea and don't like its taste except masala tea. I went ahead and amazed with the outcome. Which amazed me most was color of the final prepration. I totally loved it. I am the person who can die for the colorful things and if its food then somebody should not dare to think of sharing from me. I made it few times later also. If you want this amazing color then be careful while boiling tea and water, you just need to simmer it and switch off the flame and sieve immediately more you let it on flame more dark color you get. This totally up to you how much dark you need it. Try it and get your color. 

Ingredients:-

Water- 2 cups
Tea-1 tsp
Cardamom-2 (optional)
Lemon-1
Honey-2 tsp or as required


Method:-
Grab your Ingredients


Heat water in a pan


Add tea and cardamom seeds


 give a boil and switch off the flame


Sieve it


Add honey


squeeze lemon


Mix well and let it cool down 


Now take a glass and fill with few ice cubes


Pour cooled tea in it


Garnish with a lemon wedge


See the beautiful color




I love this color







You can also boil water and tea more to get nice dark color like this

Notes:-
  1. You can boil tea as per your preference. If you want tea dominating ice tea then boil it more or one boil is enough.
  2. Adjust honey and lemon as per your taste, add more or less.
  3. If you want to avoid ice then after boiling tea cool it and keep it in fridge to enjoy chilled ice tea.

Black Grapes Juice/ Sweet and Salty juice of Black Grapes/ Kaale Angoor ka Juice

Black Grapes Juice/ 
Sweet and Salty Juice of Black Grapes/
 Kaale Angoor ka Juice
Hi Friends,
There are lots of fruits on my dining table like strawberry. kiwi, black grapes etc. attracting me so much. But you kids they don't eat them may be they are bored of having same fruits daily. Now i find ways to make them eat fruits daily but in different way. Earlier i never tried things with them as i afraid of using them for different recipes except juices . I never mix and matched fruits for shakes or juices. Now blogging world made me so much daring to try new recipes. Blogging world is full of experiments and bloggers have a long list of drool worthy recipes to crave to try your hands on them. 
Yesterday i was searching for the recipes with black grapes and i saw so many yummy juices which gave me an idea of what i want. I didn't followed any recipe and made my own which came out so so yummy. It was sweet like juice, bit salty and appetizing like jaljeera.  Its easy, tasty, healthy and quick recipe. I came to know through Google that this juice is used to detoxify the body. You can replace ingredients as per your liking. Like if you want your juice really sweet then skip salt add more honey or sugar, for more tangyness use sour grapes or add lemon juice. So its up to you that what you want. Choose ingredients accordingly any way it will not disappoint you. 
If you love golgappa or panipoori water or jaljeera etc. then you will love it. You can take it in as breakfast as accompany to snacks etc. Have it with some snacks or plain you will fall in love with it. Try it guys to detoxify yourself.

Notes:-

  1. Adjust salt, honey and cumin seeds powder as per your taste.
  2. You can use sugar instead of honey if grapes are sour.
  3. You can also use normal salt but i will recommend black salt as it will give unique taste.
