How to Make Lemon Orange Iced Tea
- Boil 8 cups of water in a large saucepan.
- Remove from heat and add 6 black tea bags (or your preferred type and quantity).
- Cover and let steep for 20 minutes.
- Remove tea bags and discard.
- In a 2-quart pitcher, combine the steeped tea with 1 cup of sugar or to taste (splenda can be substituted).
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Let the tea cool to room temperature.
- Juice 1 large lemon and 1 large orange (about 1/2 cup total juice).
