Tea doesn't always have to be sipped scalding hot from a tea cup, it can also be enjoyed cold and with a dash of ingredients.
What you need:
- 3 cups boiling water
- 12 sprigs fresh mint
- 4 tea bags
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 5 cups cold water
- 3 orange slices for garnish (optional)
- 3 lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- - Place the tea bags and mint sprigs into a large pitcher.
- - Pour boiling water over them, and allow to steep for about 8 minutes.
- - Remove and discard the tea bags and mint leaves, squeezing out excess liquid.
- - Stir in sugar until dissolved, then stir in the orange juice and lemon juice.
- - Pour in the cold water. Serve over ice cubes, garnished with orange or lemon slices.
