  • 2 Twinings Lady Grey Tea Bags
  • 75g granulated sugar
  • 2 oranges, scrubbed, strips of peel from both, juice of 1
  • 2 unwaxed lemons, strips of peel from both, juice of 1
  • ice cubes

  1. Put the tea bags into a jug and add 100ml cold water. Cover, then steep in the fridge overnight (or at least 12 hours).

  2. Put the sugar, orange and lemon juice and half the peels into a pan with 50ml water. Place over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Turn up the heat, simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and leave to cool.
