How to make Citrus Tea

This is a great fruity tea with just the right hint of citrus to give it a zing but not overwhelm. This is great for children and adults alike. To really dress it up use tall thin glasses and long plastic stir sticks instead of toothpicks.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 2 tea bags
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• Ice cubes
• 1 can lemon-lime flavor soda

1. Pour boiling water over tea bags in a large mixing bowl, remove tea bags and stir in honey.

2. Add cold water and fruit juices, then chill for 1 hour. Put ice cubes into 4 tall glasses and add soda to tea mixture then pour over ice cubes.

3. Dress up each glass by adding lemon half and a maraschino cherry on a toothpick.

Tips & Warnings

• Vary the fruits as the seasons change.
• Never leave the stove unattended.
