How to Make Honey Citrus Iced Tea
- Boil 2 cups of water in a kettle.
- Add 4 black tea bags (or to taste), cover, and steep for 3 minutes. Remove tea bags.
- Pour the steeped tea into a large pitcher.
- Add 2 oranges and 1 lemon, peeled and sectioned.
- Stir in 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1/2 cup honey (adjust to your sweetness preference).
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the tea chills, prepare the frozen citrus garnish: Peel and section the remaining 1 orange and 1/2 lemon. Freeze these slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid.
- Before serving, strain the tea to remove the citrus sections.
- Gently stir in 1 cup of ginger ale.
- Add the frozen citrus slices to each glass and serve immediately. Enjoy!
