Homemade ice tea with golden marigold

1 litre of water
high quality loose-leaf tea
fresh ginger
lime
loose golden marigold flowers / flower petals
honey (if you prefer some sweetness)
ice cubes

Requirements

 

Preparation

Bring one litre of water to the boil. 

Put about 5 to 7 g of tea leaves in a strainer and allow this to brew for a few minutes. 

If desired add some honey. 

Remove the strainer and add a few slices of ginger, some lime sections and a few golden marigold flower petals to the tea. 

Allow the tea to cool off, first on the kitchen work top and later on in the fridge. 

When the tea is properly cool, pour it through a sieve. 

Serve the tea with ice cubes, a slice of lime and some golden marigold flowers.

The more ginger, lime and flowers are added, the stronger the flavour will be. 

If the tea is too strong, just add some more water.
