TEK - sweet tea recipe

[genaro]

To 250cL of boiling water add 3 tea bags (lipton or such) until the tea has infused into the water (dark brown).
Then add 50cL of lemon juice to acidify the water.
Then add 10g of dried coca leaves that have been crushed into a fine powder.
Allow to boil (low boil) for 5minutes, stirring continually, then remove from heat source.
Place the liquid in a sealed container for three days, shaking vigorously at least 3 times a day.
After 3days, filter through cofee filter (press/squeeze well to recover all the juice from the coca leaves powder)
Throw away the leaves powder and keep the liquid, place it in a small bottle and add 3 tablespoon of sugar to the mix (or more if you think the taste is too acid).
You can also add a little honney and ginger to perfume the mix.
Close the bottle, shake well so the sugar dissolves in the water and keep in the fridge until use.

This very delicious tea (best served very cold!) can be drunk calmly as a refreshment (a single individual can safely drink the whole bottle).
You'll be surprised how the coca, lemon and tea flavours mix altogether to give such a delightful drink!
At first it will produce a strong stimulation for 30-40min, then there's a period of calm (with some lack of energy).

enjoy!
