How to Make Orange And Cinnamon Iced Tea
- **Make the Orange-Cinnamon Syrup:** In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. This will allow the flavors to meld and the syrup to thicken slightly.
- Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the cinnamon sticks and orange zest. Set aside.
- **Brew the Tea:** In a medium saucepan, bring 8 cups of water to a boil.
- Add 6 black tea bags (or to taste) to the boiling water. Remove from heat and let steep for 4 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely.
- **Combine and Serve:** Once the tea is cool, pour it into a large pitcher.
- Add the cooled orange-cinnamon syrup to the tea and stir gently to combine.
- Add ice to the pitcher.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Orange & Cinnamon Iced Tea!
