Fall Passion® Iced Tea
This lively and vibrant iced tea is a perfect summer to fall transition beverage. It tastes like mulled wine meets fall sangria -- minus the alcohol that you won't even miss! Pretty pink colors and citrus-spice tones.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 orange or two tangerines
- 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
- 3 Tazo Passion® Hot Tea Bags
- 1 mug hot water
- 3 mugs cool water
- 1 apple, diced (I used a honeycrisp)
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon (or add to taste)
- optional: 1-3 tablespoon maple syrup for a sweeter tea
Instructions
- Warm up your hot water. Add the three tea bags. Allow to steep for a few minutes until a dark pink color appears.
- Pour the pink tea into a large pitcher, squeezing and discarding the tea bags.
- Add in the 3 more mugs of water.
- Stir in the cinnamon, orange zest, apples and optional maple syrup.
- For the orange, slice out about 3-4 rings or the orange and cut into half moons, stir into the tea. With the remaining ends of the orange, squeeze the juice right into the pitcher.
- Serve right away at a warm-ish temperature or chill in the fridge for an hour or overnight before serving. And YES this iced tea could even be simmered on a stove and served warm! If you are doing a warm version, try adding in some clove and cinnamon sticks.
