For figure-conscious: Earl Gray lemon ice tea

A delicious recipe for the figure-conscious, a home-made Earl Gray lemon zest sweetened with stevia.

There are plenty of delicious ice tea preparations ready to buy. However, one hauls it in the long run a hump (at least in the quantities I drink, at least 1.5 L / day). In addition, these are pure calorie bombs: Lt. Üko test often hides more than 20 cubes of sugar on a liter of ice tea. In addition, ready-made iced tea is not exactly cheap.

The alternative for me is very clear: Make iced tea yourself!


I use for 1 liter of ice tea:

A 1 L soda-jet PET bottle

6 tea bags of Earl Gray, equivalent to about 9 g of loose tea


The juice of a small lemon, or a teaspoon of lemon juice from the yellow, small squeeze bottle in the supermarket.

20-24 small stevia pills. I buy the stuff Online in the 2500er Pack.

Then I put on 1/2 liter of water, throw in the stevia pills after boiling, wait a few seconds for them to dissolve, and then hang the tea bags.

After that I give the tea enough time to pull until it has cooled down to room temperature.

Finally, I fish the tea bags, pour the tea into the soda-jet bottle, add the lemon juice, fill with water until the bottle is full, close the bottle, shake it a few times, and set it for at least 3, 5 hours in a compartment of the lower refrigerator zone to cool. Finished.
