Cold drinks

Most of the recipes in this chapter involve a base sugar syrup. I’ve set out the recipe for it below, but you can always just dissolve sugar in hot water (using a 1g:1ml sugar-water ratio) and use that instead. You may want to adjust the amount of sweetness slightly in each case to suit personal taste. These recipes will make 4–6 glasses, depending on the size of glass. We store our teas in the fridge in old (thoroughly washed) milk bottles, and all but the jasmine and green melon iced tea will keep well for 3–4 days.
