The original idea here was to fill up ice cube trays with undiluted lemon juice and sugar mix but the ice cube trays aren’t clean now so that’s out. So here’s what’s going on. This contains the juice of 1 lemon freshly squeezed, about 2 tablespoons of sugar, some tap water to fill up to an inch below the top of this container, and two tea bags with the paper pulled off. I put the top on there and stuck it in the fridge to retrieve after like 8 hours. You could probably make this in a mason jar too as long as you left enough room up top for reason of: after a day of brewing this is going into the freezer. Then, I’ll be thawing it for 20 minutes and putting it in a pitcher of tea to see if it improves the flavor. Will try this with lukewarm or cold tea since I don’t want to crack the pitcher.
May 16, 2024 Update: After fishing out the teabags with a fork, then freezing this for a couple days, then taking it out and making it thaw til it could come out of the container, which took 40 minutes not 20, and plopping it in the pitcher, which created a splashback mess, I was anxious to taste this stuff. This was a royal hassle to make, so today with great anticipation I took the first sip and… Absolutely pointless waste of time! Don’t make this.
