Citrus Iced Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 cloves
8 cups cold water
9 regular sized tea bags
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Preparation

Combine the cloves with two cups of water in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat and let cloves steep for at least 45 minutes, preferably 1 hour.
Bring two cups of the remaining water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.
Add the tea bags, cover and remove from heat.
Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove tea bags with out squeezing them.
Squeezing them will release more tannins into your tea and make it bitter.
Strain the clove water into a 2 quart container.
Add the steeped tea, orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar.
Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add the remaining 4 cups of water and stir to combine.
Let cool.
then chill and serve over ice.
