So.  Lockdown has been extended by another 2 weeks, putting us right back at the start of 21 days of lockdown – even though we’re 2 weeks in.  I’m trying to put a positive spin on this – think about it, after Easter weekend is over, we’re halfway through the 5 weeks!  In an attempt to continue this positive vibe (and find a way to use the random spirits left in our drinks collection), I put together an easy cocktail recipe.  An Iced Tea Cocktail using the delicious Tetley lemon-flavoured tea bags!

I’m a big fan of tea.  Hot with milk and sugar, iced with slices of fruit, black with honey – it all has it’s place in my heart.  So when I was sent the Tetley lemon-flavoured tea at the beginning of March, I was thrilled!

This recipe is delicious on it’s own as a refreshing iced tea.  However, it’s very tasty with a shot of vodka added, and even BETTER with a shot of whisky!  It would be great with gin too – in fact I can picture you using it with a number of different kinds of spirits, so it’s a wonderful way of making something out of nothing.

PLUS – I used honey (rich in antioxidants, a better choice of sweetener), fresh ginger (great for your digestion, boosts your immune system and a natural anti inflammatory), and I also used fresh lemon juice and slices of lemon, so it’s packed with vitamin C too.
