Citrus Iced Tea

by Jessica


I'm not a big fan of ANY tea, but Jason, my brother, and dad all love it, so here's a
recipe that looks pretty refreshing. ;)

Total time: 20 minutes (plus chilling)
Hands-on time: 10 minutes


Ingredients:
12 bags high-quality black tea
8 cups boiling water
1 to 1-1/2 cups sugar
1 can (12 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
Zest of 1 large orange, in thin strips
Ice, for serving
Lemon or orange slices, for garnish


1. Place the tea bags in a large heatproof pitcher. Pour in the boiling water, cover and let the tea steep for at least 10 minutes.
2. Discard the tea bags. Stir in 1 cup of the sugar until dissolved. Stir in the lemonade concentrate and orange zest. Taste and add up to 1/2 cup sugar if desired. Refrigerate until chilled.
3. Serve over ice in tall iced tea glasses. Garnish with a slice of lemon or orange, if desired.

Makes 8 servings
