Step 1

Heat 350ml of water in a pot to 95˚C or 203˚F, turn off heat, add tea, cover.

Step 2

Turn the heat back on to simmer for 5 minutes and then turn the heat off again without uncovering.  Let the tea steep for a total of 15 minutes The key is to maintain the temperature at around 90˚C or 194˚F without going over 95˚C or 203˚F

Step 3

Wash lemon and slice

Step 4

Prepare a container, preferably with a spout for tea pulling (I use a glass measuring cup).  Pour the liquid from the pot into the measuring cup and then pour the liquid back into the pot at a bit of a distance without spilling any.  Do this 4 times.  Remove and Discard teabags or tea leaves Tea pulling results in a smoother tea texture

Step 5

Pour the tea into a cup, put lemon slices into the tea and add simple syrup

Step 6

If you are making iced lemon tea, wait for tea to cool before pouring it onto the ice
