LEMON-ORANGE ICED TEA
For all the pitchers of tea I've made, I found one lemon and one orange just right for a citrusy summer drink. It doesn't matter the size, one each will do.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat water just until it comes to a rapid boil. Remove from heat and drop in the tea bags. Cover and let steep for about 20 minutes.
- In a 2 quart pitcher, combine the steeped tea, discarding the tea bags, and the sugar or Splenda. Stir until dissolved. Continue to cool to room temperature. Stir in lemon and orange juice. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice.
- Tips:.
- I find it best not to add the citrus until the tea is completely cooled. Even better to chill the cooled citrus tea, as recommended, to let the flavors meld. Also, cooling too fast brings out the tannin, causing cloudy tea. Should any tea become cloudy, just add a little boiling water to clear it up.

Tips:
- Choose ripe oranges: The riper the oranges, the sweeter and more flavorful your lemonade will be.
- Use a microplane grater to zest the oranges: This will release the essential oils from the orange peel, which will give your lemonade a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice is more flavorful and tart than bottled lemon juice.
- Make a simple syrup: Simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that is heated until the sugar dissolves. This will help to sweeten your lemonade and make it smooth.
- Chill your lemonade before serving: Chilled lemonade is more refreshing and flavorful.
