Primor Strawberry Arnold Palmer

Half iced tea, half strawberry lemonade, made by the pitcher. Real strawberry purée gives it depth that syrup cannot, and it holds in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Primor Strawberry Purée
• 4 black tea bags
• 7 cups water
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of baking soda
• Ice
• Lemon wheels and mint, to garnish

Method

1. Boil 4 cups of water and steep the tea bags for five minutes, then remove them.
2. Stir the sugar and a pinch of baking soda into the hot tea until dissolved.
3. Add the remaining 3 cups of cold water and let the tea cool completely.
4. Stir in the strawberry purée and lemon juice.
5. Pour over ice and garnish with lemon wheels and mint.

Notes

The pinch of baking soda cuts the bitterness and stops the tea turning cloudy as it chills. Do not skip it. Squeezing the tea bags makes the tea bitter, so lift them out and leave them. Let the tea cool before the purée goes in, or the color dulls. Pink guava or passion fruit purée both work in place of strawberry.
