There's nothing as refreshing as this thirst-quenching iced tea on a hot summer's day.

2 English breakfast tea bags
1L (4 cups) still mineral water
2 cinnamon quills
1L (4 cups) clear apple juice
1 red apple, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
Crushed ice, mint sprigs and honey (optional), to serve

Method

1.

Place the tea bags in a large heatproof bowl. Bring the mineral water to the boil, then pour over the tea bags. Leave to steep for 15 minutes, then discard the tea bags. Add the cinnamon quills and apple juice, then cover and leave to chill and infuse overnight.
2.

The next morning, pour the tea into a jug. Add the apple and lemon slices, crushed ice and mint sprigs, then serve with honey to sweeten if desired.
