How to Make Orange Iced Tea
- Using a vegetable peeler, carefully peel each orange in a continuous spiral, removing only the outer colored layer of peel. Avoid the white pith as it can make the tea bitter.
- In a large pitcher, combine the orange peels and tea bags.
- Pour 8 cups of boiling water over the tea bags and orange peels.
- Cover the pitcher and let it steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags and orange peels.
- Refrigerate the tea in a covered container until thoroughly chilled (at least 2 hours).
- Once chilled, pour the iced tea over ice cubes in tall glasses.
- Sweeten to your liking with honey.
- Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a few fresh mint leaves (optional).
