Ingredients
160ml cold Earl Grey tea
70ml lemonade base
1 slice of lemon
1 sprig of mint
5–6 ice cubes
Tea
10g ARKET Earl Grey tea
1000ml water
Lemon syrup (about 700ml)
500g sugar
500g water
Zest from 2 lemons
Lemonade base (300ml)
200ml lemon syrup
100ml lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
Method
Prepare the tea: Use 10g of Earl Grey tea leaves to brew 1 litre of tea. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep for 3–4 minutes. Strain and allow it to cool down, then store in the fridge to chill.
Prepare the lemon syrup: Grate the lemons using a Microplane grater and put the zest in a saucepan with the sugar and water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Leave to cool and strain out the zest.
Prepare the lemonade base: Juice the zested lemons and blend with 200ml of the lemon syrup.
The recipes for the tea and the lemon syrup are large batches – easy to prepare and keep in the fridge for later.

Shallots become extra sweet and tender when baked in the oven. Serve them slightly warm in salads, sandwiches and wraps, or add them to soups and stews for some savory umami flavour.
