Citrus early grey iced tea

Method

1. Put the sugar and half the lemon or grapefruit slices in a small pan with 300ml water and bring to the boil, mashing the fruit a little with a wooden spoon. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat, cover and leave to steep for 30 minutes.
2. In a large jug, brew the tea in 700ml just-boiled water for 4-5 minutes. Remove the teabags or strain the tea into a pitcher, then chill until needed.
3. Once the sugar syrup is cool, strain it into the pitcher of tea to remove the fruit slices.
4. To serve, fill a glass with ice and pour over the iced tea. Add a few fresh slices of lemon and/or grapefruit to garnish.
