Serves/Makes: 12
Ready in: > 5 hrs

  • 6 orange spice tea bags (celestial seasonings or whatever)
  • 2 lemon tea bags
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 gallon water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Add sugar to water in a clear, 1 gallon container. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add tea bags; leave strings and tags hanging outside jar. Add cinnamon stick and cloves. Place in sun for about six hours or so, then remove tea bags, cinnamon stick, and cloves, and refrigerate.

Serve with ice in tall glasses. Garnish with a slice of orange.

Actually, this tea brews equally well in the refrigerator, if you want to save time. A good way to make it is to brew it overnight in the refrigerator, then you have fresh tea in the morning!

An alternative, quicker method is to place the tea bags in one cup boiling water for about five minutes, then stir in sugar until dissolved. Pour the strong tea into a gallon container filled with ice, water, cinnamon stick, and cloves. If the tea isn\'t quite strong enough, add a fresh tea bag or two. The tea should be ready in about fifteen minutes.
