Orange Iced Tea
Ingredients:
6 oranges, washed
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
4 cups black tea, chilled
ice cubes
fresh mint sprigs
With sharp knife, cut peel from one orange in a spiral motion so
it's all one piece. Cut spiral into 6 long narrow strips; set aside.
Slice peeled orange and 2 unpeeled oranges into a large bowl. Add
sugar; crush with large wooden spoon or bottom of a glass until
sugar is dissolved. Add water; crush the slices again. Let steep 15
minutes. Strain the mixture and combine with the tea. Fill glasses
with ice cubes and add tea. Garnish by twisting reserved peel around
straws or dropping in the ice tea with a sprig of mint.
6 servings.
