Recipe for Citrus flavored iced tea


Place the washed and sliced oranges/limes /lemon in the bottom of a 2-quart pitcher. Brew tea and allow steeping about five minutes. Using a tea strainer to take away the tea leaves, pour the hot tea over the citrus fruit and allow sitting for half an hour. Add ice to a second jug and pour the tea through a strainer over the ice.

To server pour into tall glasses with extra ice. Garnish every glass with a slice of orange. Include lengthy straw and an iced tea spoon. If you’re serving guests, offer a option of simple syrup or sugar-free sweetener, though many people prefer to drink their iced tea unsweetened. You can also use chunks of frozen fruit in the glasses instead of ice to stay the drinks cold. The fruit will thaw without diluting the tea and you can eat it with the iced tea spoon when the drink is over.
