How to Make Citrus Raspberry Cooler

  1. Boil 4 cups of water.
  2. In a large heatproof glass pitcher, steep 6 black tea bags in the boiling water for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove and discard the tea bags.
  4. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
  5. Stir in 6 cups of cold water, 2 (12-ounce) cans frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed), and 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.
  7. Gently pour 2 liters of chilled club soda down the sides of the pitcher before serving to maintain carbonation.
  8. Add the raspberry ice (see recipe below) to the pitcher or individual serving glasses.
  9. Makes approximately 14 servings.
  10. **Raspberry Ice:** Fill ice cube trays halfway with water. Arrange fresh raspberries (approximately 2 cups) and thin strips of lemon peel (from 1 lemon) in each compartment. Freeze until solid. Top off with remaining water and freeze until completely firm.
