Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 cups water
8 tea bags (I use a basic decaf black tea)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 orange, zest of

Steps:

  • In a medium pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
  • Once the water boils, add the tea bags and remove from heat.
  • Let the tea steep for 4 minutes.
  • Remove tea bags and let the brewed tea cool.
  • Once the tea is cooled, add the orange-cinnamon syrup. Mix thoroughly. Transfer to a serving pitcher and add ice.

  • To Make the Syrup:.
  • In a small saucepan, mix the water, orange juice and sugar. Add the cinnamon sticks and orange zest.

  • Once the mixture boils and the sugar has dissolved, remove saucepan from the heat.

This iced tea is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges on hand and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my iced tea turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much cinnamon.

This iced tea is delicious, but it's a bit too strong for me. I'll try diluting it with more water next time.

I'm not a big fan of orange and cinnamon together. I think I'll try a different flavor combination next time.

This iced tea is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less sugar next time.

I didn't have any cinnamon sticks, so I used ground cinnamon instead. It turned out great!
