I love the summer afternoon quietness; it is dull yet inspiring and fills me with many inspiring recipe ideas, such as this orange-flavoured iced tea.
Ingredients Required
Tea: I prefer using Indian milk tea or black tea leaves for making iced tea decoction. Make sure the tea leaves are not too old or stale. Else, the flavour of the iced tea would be bitter or flavourless. Orange: One can use fresh or canned orange juice for flavouring the iced tea. From Spanish Seville to Australian Orange, or a Naval, any variety of sweet oranges work for this tea recipe. A few slices of orange can also be added to the iced tea for a natural taste and garnishing. But make sure that the orange slices are not bitter. Sweetener: From granulated white sugar and syrup to organic honey, there are multiple options to sweeten the iced tea. If you are using sweetened orange juice for making the iced tea, then taste and add the additional sweetening agent accordingly.
