List of Ingredients




6 teaspoons tea (or 6 tea bags)
2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 quarts water
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
1 6-ounce can frozen lemon juice
1 6-ounce can frozen orange juice



Recipe



Pour boiling water over tea and let cool. Strain and pour into a 4-quart saucepan. Add sugar, water and cinnamon and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and stir in frozen juices. Cover and let set for 20 minutes for flavors to blend. Add more sugar or water to taste.

NOTE: You may use 6 ounces of fresh lemon or lime juice instead of the frozen, or bottled lemon although that will affect the taste. Whole allspice, cloves or spiced tea (chai) mix may be added with the stick cinnamon. The flavor will improve when the tea is stored overnight in the refrigerator.
