Ingredients
– 1 (64 oz) bottle unsweetened iced tea
– 2 oranges
– 1 lemon
– 5 sprigs of rosemary
Instructions
Getting started with this Orange Rosemary Ice Tea recipe is straightforward and fun. Begin by pouring the unsweetened iced tea into a large pitcher as your base. Follow the directions from the summary to squeeze the juice from one orange into the pitcher, then slice the remaining orange and the lemon for added flavor.
Next, crush the rosemary sprigs to release their oils and add them in. Let everything infuse for 4 hours at room temperature to develop those refreshing citrus and herbal notes. Once ready, strain out the rosemary and serve over ice, perhaps with a garnish of orange slices and rosemary for an extra touch.
1-First, boil 4 cups of filtered water and add rosemary sprigs and tea bags to steep for 5-7 minutes, as mentioned in the guide.
2-Remove the tea bags and rosemary, then stir in honey or your chosen sweetener while warm.
3-Let the tea cool, add fresh orange slices, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
4-Serve chilled, adjusting flavors as needed for your refreshing citrus twist ice tea.
