How to Make Cranberry And Orange Iced Tea
- Peel the rind from the orange using a vegetable peeler. Be sure to remove only the outermost layer.
- Carefully remove the white pith from the orange rind using a small sharp knife. This is important for a less bitter taste.
- Place the orange rind and tea bags in a large heatproof jug or pitcher.
- Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the rind and tea bags.
- Let the mixture steep for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Remove the tea bags and orange rind, discarding them.
- Add 1 cup of cranberry juice and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste) to the jug. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Cut half of the remaining orange flesh into small pieces. Divide these pieces evenly among 2 ice cube trays.
- Pour the tea mixture evenly among the ice cube trays containing the orange segments.
- Place the ice cube trays in the freezer overnight to allow the tea to freeze completely.
- Cover the remaining tea mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate to chill.
- Once frozen, remove the orange tea cubes from the trays and place them in a serving jug or pitcher.
- Pour the chilled tea mixture over the frozen cubes and serve immediately. Enjoy!
