About Orange Iced Tea

I absolutely love iced tea, especially the classic lemon flavor—it's my go-to refreshment during the hot summer months. This time, with some fresh oranges in my fridge, I decided to give my favorite drink a citrusy twist by making Orange Iced Tea using fresh orange juice.

If you’re an iced tea lover like me, this recipe is a must-try. The vibrant combination of brewed tea, zesty orange juice, and a hint of mint creates a perfectly cool and invigorating beverage. Trust me—you’ll end up loving this refreshing take on iced tea just as much as I do!

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

For a bolder citrus flavor, add thin slices of orange and a few strips of orange zest to the brewed tea while it cools, then strain before serving.
Swap regular black tea leaves for Darjeeling or Assam varieties for a nuanced flavor that pairs beautifully with orange juice's sweetness and acidity.
Chill the serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring in the iced tea to help keep the drink icy-cold, especially in hot Indian summers.
To make a sparkling version, replace half the water with chilled club soda just before serving for a fizzy, festive twist.
