How to Make Spiced Iced Tea
- Combine 8 cups of water, lemon slices, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a large Dutch oven.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Remove from heat and immediately add the tea bags.
- Cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
- Using a fine-mesh sieve or slotted spoon, remove and discard the tea bags, cloves, and cinnamon sticks.
- Stir in 1 cup of sugar until completely dissolved. Adjust to your preferred sweetness.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of orange juice.
- Let the tea cool completely before transferring it to a pitcher or container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve over ice. Garnish with extra lemon and/or orange slices, if desired.
