INGREDIENTS

Citrus Infusion:

• 1 DELISHOUS Boost Grapefruit & Orange Tea Bag
• 330ml (11 fl oz US) cup boiling water
• 1-2 Slices of Fresh Lemon (for a fresh citrus boost)
• 1-2 Slices of Fresh Cucumber (hydrating and cooling for the skin)
• 1-2 Fresh Mint Leaves (freshness and digestive support)
• 1-2 tbsp honey (for natural sweetness)
• 1-2 tbsp orange syrup (optional, see below for details, more robust citrus flavor)
• Ice cubes (optional, for making it iced drink)

Orange Syrup:

• 1 cup fresh orange juice (about 2-3 oranges)
• 1 cup sugar (granulated or raw sugar)
• 1 tbsp orange zest (optional, for added depth)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, to balance the sweetness)

INSTRUCTIONS

Orange Syrup:

1. Juice the oranges until you have about 1 cup of fresh juice.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, sugar, and optional zest and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar. Once it starts simmering, reduce the heat and allow it to cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the syrup thickens slightly.
4. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature. Pour it into a glass jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Citrus Infusion:

1. Boil 330ml (11 fl oz) of water and pour it over your tea bag. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes to get a strong, flavorful base.
2. While the tea is steeping, slice 1-2 pieces of fresh lemon and 1-2 slices of fresh cucumber. Add these to your tea cup to infuse them with their refreshing, hydrating qualities.
3. Tear or bruise 1-2 fresh mint leaves and add them to the tea. This will help release their refreshing and digestive properties.
4. Once the tea has brewed, remove the tea bag. Add 1-2 tbsp of honey to taste. Stir well until the honey dissolves fully, giving the tea a natural, smooth sweetness.
5. (Optional)For an extra burst of citrus flavor, add 1-2 tbsp of orange syrup.
6. (Optional)If you prefer your drink chilled, add ice cubes to the tea to cool it down or pour it into a separate glass and chill in the fridge for a few minutes.
