Orange Iced Tea

Orange Iced Tea combines the bold, slightly tannic flavor of brewed black tea with the natural sweetness and fragrance of fresh oranges. Honey softens the tea while lemon juice adds a bright citrus finish. Served over plenty of ice, this drink works beautifully for summer afternoons, picnics, brunches and family gatherings. Allow the brewed tea to cool before mixing in the orange juice so the fresh citrus flavor remains vibrant. For a lighter drink, add a splash of cold water or sparkling water just before serving.
