Ingredients
- 1 Gallon of your favorite Tea - per box instructions
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 8 whole cloves
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 lemon - juice only
- 1 ½ Cups Orange juice - pulp free
Instructions
- Prepare Tea per package instructions in order to make one gallon of tea. While it is hot and sitting on the stove top, add the cinnamon sticks and cloves. You can tie these up in a coffee filter if you like - then you don’t have to strain them later - but if you don’t have a coffee filter - just toss them in.
- Add the orange juice, lemon juice and the sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves. You may need to heat the tea on the stove top over medium heat if it isn't already warm enough.
- Taste for sugar content - add more if desired. Strain out the cinnamon and cloves if you didn't add them via coffee filter using a fine mesh strainer.
- Serve warm. You can reheat to serve later, but do not boil it.
