Restated from the original video
- 1
Bring 500 ml of the water to a boil and pour it over the tea bags in a heatproof jug.
- 2
Steep for 5 min, then lift out the tea bags. Longer steeping makes the tea bitter.
- 3
Add 250 ml cold water to the tea and let it cool.
- 4
Heat 150 ml water with the sugar in a small pan, stirring until it dissolves, about 2 min.
- 5
Squeeze 4 of the lemons. Stir the juice and the sweetened water into the remaining 500 ml cold water in a second jug.
- 6
Chill the tea and the lemonade for at least 1 hour.
- 7
Fill tall glasses with ice and pour in equal amounts of tea and lemonade.
- 8
Stir and garnish each glass with a slice cut from the last lemon.
