Rosebud Lemonade Iced Tea Recipe
Real iced tea is finally receiving the attention it deserves so we have decided to kick off our iced tea recipes with the simplest method going - the 'pour over' method with our delicious, caffeine-free Rosebud Lemonade blend.

Ingredients (Serves 4)
8 heaped tsps Rosebud Lemonade tea
1L 100°C water
Ice
Lemon slices
Lemon juice and sugar syrup (or honey) to taste
