From EatingWell Magazine (JulAug 2009): Get a little pick-me-up with this orange-infused Earl Grey iced tea. Tea is rich in flavonoids that my help reduce your risk of Alzheimer's and diabetes, plus help you have healthier teeth and gums and stronger bones. You can help preserve the flavonioids in iced tea by adding something acidic - like the orange juice in this recipe. Use Splenda for a more diabetic-friendly tea. NOTE: prep/cook time does not include 2-hour chill time.

Categories     Tea     Quick & Easy

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ quarts boiling water (6 cups)
8 tea bags of Earl Grey
½ cup sugar (optional)
1 4" x ¼" strip of orange peel, pith removed
2 cups ice

Steps:

  • Place sugar and orange peel in 2 quart pitcher. Add 1 cup of boiling water and sitr to melt sugar. Add teabags and remaining boiling water. Steep 5-10 minutes according to desired strength. Remove tea bags. Stir in ice. Chill thoroughly.

Tips:

  • Use loose-leaf Earl Grey tea for the best flavor. If you only have tea bags, you can use two bags per cup of water.
  • Steep the tea for at least 5 minutes, but no longer than 10 minutes. Longer steeping times will result in a more bitter tea.
  • Sweeten the tea to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or another sweetener.
  • Serve the tea over ice with a slice of lemon or orange and a sprig of mint.
  • You can also make a pitcher of Earl Grey iced tea ahead of time. Just brew a batch of tea as directed and let it cool completely before pouring it into a pitcher. Store the tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Earl Grey iced tea is a refreshing and flavorful beverage that is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day. It is also a great way to use up leftover Earl Grey tea. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious batch of Earl Grey iced tea that your friends and family will love.
