Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 small orange
4 english breakfast tea bags
1 liter boiling water
1 liter cranberry juice
2 tablespoons caster sugar

Steps:

Use a vegetable peeler to peel the rind from the orange. Use a small sharp knife to remove the white pith from the rind.
Place the rind and tea bags in a large heatproof jug. Pour over the water. Set aside for 20 minutes to infuse.
Remove the tea bags and rind, and discard. Add the cranberry juice and sugar to the jug, and stir to combine.
Cut half the orange flesh into small pieces and divide among 2 ice cube trays. Pour the tea mixture among the trays. Place in the freezer overnight. Cover the remaining tea mixture with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill.
Remove the ice cubes from the trays and place in a serving jug. Pour over the tea mixture and serve.
Time plan tip: Prepare this recipe to the end of step 4 up to 1 day ahead. Continue from step 5 just before serving. Picnic tip: Divide the ice cubes and tea among airtight bottles or jugs. Transport in your esky.

Tips:

Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they will not be as tart.
To make the cranberry-orange simple syrup ahead of time, combine the cranberries, orange juice, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the syrup has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
If you don't have time to make the simple syrup, you can use store-bought cranberry juice cocktail. Just be sure to dilute it with water according to the package directions.
For a refreshing non-alcoholic drink, omit the vodka. Sparkling water or club soda can be used instead.
Garnish your iced tea with fresh cranberries, orange slices, or mint leaves for a festive touch.
