I have a special fondness for Hong Kong’s iced lemon tea—it’s delicious and free from high-tech gimmicks. What’s more, every shop has its own unique version, so it’s always a must-order drink for me. You could say it’s consistently satisfying yet always carries a hint of surprise—familiar yet subtly different. I even looked into this and found out that each shop makes its own iced lemon tea without a standardized recipe. The differences come down to the tea bags used and the type of lemon. As the name suggests, iced lemon tea is simply a drink made from lemon, tea leaves, and ice—yet it takes on a thousand variations.
