About this recipe
Orange iced tea is a milder drink made with black tea, orange, honey, and ice. The orange adds sweetness and citrus aroma with gentler acidity than lemon or grapefruit. Black tea provides a flavorful base, while honey highlights the fruit without making the drink syrupy. It is a good choice when you want homemade iced tea with a delicate citrus profile.
Ingredients
2 black tea bags
1 orange
800 ml water
1 tablespoon honey
ice cubes
Steps
Prepare 800 ml of water at the temperature recommended for your black tea. Steep the tea bags for 3–4 minutes unless the package states otherwise, then remove them. Set the tea aside to cool.
Wash the orange thoroughly. Reserve a few thin slices and squeeze the rest. Remove any seeds so they do not enter the drink.
Dissolve the honey in the slightly warm tea and stir in the juice. Once cooled, refrigerate until thoroughly cold. You can prepare the tea ahead; chilling time depends on the container and starting temperature. Allow approximately 60–90 minutes for the whole batch to cool and chill. To speed up cooling, place the container in a cold-water bath and stir the tea before refrigerating. Serve only once the base is cold.
Add the reserved orange slices and ice to the cold drink. If storing the tea for longer, remove the slices with their peel before bitterness starts to overpower the juice.
