Today I have one Nice souvenir for a summer party For you: one Lemon tea gift basket. Made quickly and a nice idea if you are invited to a barbecue or a birthday in the summer and are still looking for a nice gift. You can also pack a money gift or a voucher in it.
Lemon tea gift basket – guest gift for a summer party
Recently I showed you an inspiration list with the most beautiful gift ideas from the kitchen in summer and also shared my recipe for lemon sugar with you. Today I will show you how you can combine and decorate such a gift from the kitchen. I used the lemon sugar as the basis for a gift basket around the topic of iced tea. Here you will find the short version of the recipe again.
For lemon sugar: Mix 100 grams of sugar with 1 teaspoon of lemon zest (a bizitron). The lemon sugar tastes best, so you should make it a week in advance (tips in the article) or simply fill normal sugar for the gift basket.

I used the following elements for the gift basket
- A metal tray with high sides serves as the basis – you can of course also use any other gift basket. My tray is no longer sold, here you will find an alternative made of wood.
- Loose black tea for the lemon
- Fresh: lemons and fresh mint. Attention, you should only add the mint to the very shortly before giving away. I harvested them fresh in the garden. If you have to prepare the basket earlier, but still want to integrate a little green, you can also use rosemary. That better keeps the shape!
- The map with lemon print comes from Dille & Kamille.
- I also added two glasses with a wave edge* and straws of glass.
- The flushing in yellow is a DIY – the simple instructions can be found here on the blog: 3 patterns for dishwasher. I knit the flushing towels from this remnants from this cotton yarn* and always like to give them away!
- Alternatively, you could also add a lemon ice cube shape or a beautiful carafe.
In addition, in the gift basket, of course, the recipe for the lemonery tea should not be missing. I wrote the recipe on a piece of handicraft box and put it on the map.
Lemon tea recipe for the gift basket
- 10-15 grams of black tea (4 to 5 teaspoons)
- 1 liter of water
- 100 grams of lemon sugar (or less to taste)
- 2 lemons
- Fresh mint
- Lemon slices as decoration
- Ice cubes
Prepare the tea with one liter of water and let it steep for about three minutes. Add fresh mint and stir in the lemon sugar until it has dissolved. Pour into a heat -resistant carafe so that the tea cools down quickly. Squeeze the juice of two lemons and add. Serve on ice with lemon gaps.
