This is quite easy to make, and the oranges offer a refreshing citrus boost to the iced tea. I didn't include chilling time in the preparation time.

How To Make orange iced tea

Step 1

With a vegetable peeler, peel each orange in a continuous spiral, removing only the outer orange colored layer of peel. Place orange peels in a large pitcher.

Step 2

Add the tea bags to the pitcher, and pour the boiling water over the tea bags and orange peels. Cover and steep 5 minutes. Remove tea bags. Cover pitcher, and chill the tea mixture (with peels).
Step 3

To serve, remove the peels and pour iced tea over ice cubes in tall glasses.
Step 4

Sweeten to taste with honey (or brown sugar). Garnish with orange slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
