A ready-to-drink blackcurrant iced tea from Akbar, in a 240ml pack. It is made with black tea extract and flavoured with blackcurrant, then lightly sweetened, so it is ready to pour straight from the fridge.
The taste is fruity and slightly tart, with the tea in the background rather than up front. It is a simple drink for a hot afternoon, a lunch box or a long drive, and a change from fizzy soft drinks.
Serve it well chilled, on its own or over ice. A slice of lemon or a few mint leaves in the glass suits it.
Ingredients
