Iced Lemon Tea

Do you know what this is? Yep, iced lemon tea! The favorite drink for people in HK!

Do you think it is that simple to drink this? Nope, if you did not get it right, you are not going to like it!

The first time I was there, I ordered one and it was bad! Tea and lemon DO NOT go well at all! If you DO NOT follow the procedures below, you will never like it, trust me!

1. When you got your drink, DO NOT get overly excited and start drinking!
2. Move the lemon slices below the glass with the straw or spoon.
3. Place them almost flat below the glass so that you could poke at them easily later.
4. You could either:
a. press the tip of the straw and start poking at the lemon slices. (personal preference!)
b. use the spoon and start poking at the lemon slices.
5. Make sure you poke until most if not all of the lemon flesh is detached from the skin.
6. Stir hard so that the lemon juice mixes well with the tea.
7. Start to taste a bit of your drink to see if your poking is enough or not. If not, repeat above.

Trust me, once you got the procedures right, you would LOVE it!
