Lemon Tea? Anyone?

I like made lemon tea for babe yesterday, apparently she like it and hope to do it herself! so independent. so here i m typing this entry for ani1 interested in making your own lemon tea, you must be asking: "why the hell i can buy Seasons Ice Lemon Tea at 65 cents at Sheng Siong, NTUC, or 1.20 in any kopitiam, would i wana waste my precious time and effort to make this crap?"

the reason being:

1- its really more refreshing then those commercial ones
2- its not that sweet! --> low cal --> ideal for ppl who are watching their weight
3- confirm no preservative
4- u get the kick n satisfaction when ppl say its nice!
5- u get to customize it! adjust the sweetness to your likeness, add some curry or durian into it for extra kick!

ICE LEMON TEA

• boil 1 liter of water in a pot or kettle.
• add 5 packet of Lipton tea or any nice n cheap tea bag into it
• you can just dip it inside around the corner to make it lk pretty
• * do not crush the teabag--> release tannins that causes our tea to become bitter*

You have to wait for at least 1 hr i think, this step is called steeping, just add the cover n leave it alone. i normally go back to study or play net :D or mayb call u babe. its alrite if u go n slp and forgot bout it, i once leave it for 3 hrs, and it still taste as nice :D

• remove tea bag *once again do not crush or press the tea bag*
• add in 1 - 2 freshly squeezed Lemon--> depend on size and how lemony u like :D
• add in 1 bowl of sugar, it might lk alot! but cummo its def less then carbonated drinks n Season Ice Lemon Tea sugar content. it really depends on ur taste, if you dun have a sweet tooth like me, u can just add mayb 5 grain of sugar :D up to u
• stir like mad to dissolve it, dun have to reheat or wry bout the temperature! becoz adding lemon juice lowers the pH and allow it to dissolve! why? okie here goes

lowering the pH means increase in Hydrogen (H) ions, by increase the H ions, it decrease the no. of H bonds between water(H2O), coz ion-dipole interaction btw H+ and the O of h2o. when this happen, H2O molecule network, aka water lattice, is brokenup, this also decreases replusion btw sugar molecule (nonpolar) and water!! meaning the sugar molecules is able to insert itself into spaces btw water molecules instead of staying amoung itself cluster fark within itself.

okie lets get back to ice lemon tea

• sip it and taste it, its suppose to be sweeter den normal! of coz, u haven add the water!!
• now add another 1 Liter of water, stir it well. pour all into a container and put into frigde
• now just wait for it to chill. so simple! especially the chem part rite.
