Citrus Iced Tea image

This recipe was posted in response for Russian Tea using "real" ingredients. I have not tried this yet but it sounds lovely. It came from the Iced Tea book by Fred Thompson. Since Russian tea has cinnamon in it you could add a cinnamon stick to the infusing process.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cloves
8 cups cold water
9 regular sized tea bags
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the cloves with two cups of water in a small saucepan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat and let cloves steep for at least 45 minutes, preferably 1 hour.
  • Bring two cups of the remaining water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.
  • Add the tea bags, cover and remove from heat.
  • Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove tea bags with out squeezing them.
  • Squeezing them will release more tannins into your tea and make it bitter.
  • Strain the clove water into a 2 quart container.
  • Add the steeped tea, orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar.
  • Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the remaining 4 cups of water and stir to combine.
  • Let cool.
  • then chill and serve over ice.

This tea is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add some honey next time.
