Answer 2

My favorite trick is to take any standard tea bag, carefully open the top, and add a tablespoon of lemon zest (lemon peel shavings, rub a fine cheese grater to the outside of the fruit to get the yellow powder) and then staple the tea bag shut.

Pour your boiling water into a cup, drop in your augmented tea bag and let it soak until the tea becomes your desired coloration/flavor.

If you want more lemon, just add some juice, but unlike the zest, the juice will make the tea sour. The zest has a sweeter, more tart lemon flavor.

Answer 3

First buy great tea. Not the American brands available easily. ( I use P.G. Tips, you can get it from english grocers or Indian ones. ) use a tea pot to brew the tea. yes, even when using a tea bag. Use freshly boiled water, preferably bottled if you live in a city that chlorinates heavily ( dallas). So, it goes like this, allow 1 tea bag ( or 1 teaspoon of loose tea) per person, and one extra for the pot. Bring fresh water to a full boil, allowing some extra to scald the pot. When water reaches a boil, pour some into your teapot and swish it around the pot to take the chill off the pot. discard this water. Add sufficient qauntityof tea to fit your pot, add the freshly boiled water to the pot. Cover pot with lid. Place a tea Cosy ( an insulated cover) over the pot and allow tea to "draw' or "brew' for approx 3-4 minutes. If you used loose tea, it will naturally sink to the bottom of the pot after this time. Now, place 2 extra thin slices of lemon into your tea cup, preferably a nice thin bone china one, and pour on your hot brewed tea. Add sugar if desired, stir up lemon with tea, and drink. thats it. Simple!

For true lemony goodness, cut a lemon into 10mm thick slices and insert into your dehydrator. Crank up the juice and return 4 to 7 hours later for the deliciously concentrated lemon chips. Pick out the seeds before you proceed!

Now get out your mortar and pestal to crush these chips to dust. Now all you have to do is pack the lemon mush into a coffee filter that you can twist up in a bun.

Put bun in cup of boiling tea and you are done!
