Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Bring 500 ml of the water to a boil and pour it over the tea bags in a heatproof jug.

  2. 2

    Steep for 5 min, then lift out the tea bags. Longer steeping makes the tea bitter.

  3. 3

    Add 250 ml cold water to the tea and let it cool.

  4. 4

    Heat 150 ml water with the sugar in a small pan, stirring until it dissolves, about 2 min.

  5. 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. 6

    Chill the tea and the lemonade for at least 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Fill tall glasses with ice and pour in equal amounts of tea and lemonade.

  8. 8

    Stir and garnish each glass with a slice cut from the last lemon.
