Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring half of your water to a boil.
- Add the tea-bags, stir and gently boil for around a minute.
- Remove from heat. Cover and steep for 5 minutes.
- Strain with a sieve and cool this black tea to room temperature.
- Combine the black tea with the rest of the water in a large pitcher and keep in the refrigerator to chill for 1-2 hours.
- Take another sauce-pan and bring your fresh orange juice and sugar to a simmer. Continue boiling gently for 4-5 minutes till sugar dissolves and syrup thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and bring to room temperature. Store the orange syrup in a glass jar and keep to chill in the refrigerator, along with your tea.
- To serve your cold iced tea, fill 1/3rd of the pitcher with ice cubes. Add chilled black tea, orange syrup, orange slices and lots of crushed mint leaves. Stir and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the quantity of tea to be used according to your personal preferance.
- You can substitute the orange with lemon or lime!
- Instead of mint leaves, you can also use fragrant Rosemary or Basil herbs to add different aromas to your Iced-teas.
- If the resulting Iced-tea seems to strong for your taste, just add chilled water to it to dilute the flavor of the tea.
