Spiced Citrus Iced Tea
- 2 Sunkist® lemons or oranges
- 6 cups boiling water
- 5 tea bags
- 12 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- Ice cubes
- Sugar, honey, or orange-flavored liqueur, to taste (optional)
Makes about 6 cups (six 6-ounce servings).
With a vegetable parer, peel each lemon or orange in a continuous spiral, removing the outer colored layer of peel only. (Save the fruit for other uses.) Pour the boiling water over the tea bags, spices, and peel. Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and spices; chill the tea mixture with peel. To serve, remove the peel and serve the tea over ice. Sweeten with sugar, honey, or orange-flavored liqueur to taste and serve with cinnamon stick stirrers, if desired.
