Instructions for Cinnamon Spiced Orange Iced Tea Recipe

To prepare the Spiced Orange Iced Tea, start with peeling orange. Save the orange peel for flavoring the tea and squeeze fresh juice from the orange slices. Keep the juice in a bowl and set aside until required.

Boil the water in a saucepan over high heat. Add the tea leaves, orange peel, sugar, cinnamon, star anise to the boiling water. Stir to combine and let the water simmer for few minutes over medium heat.

Once the spices and orange flavor is nicely infused into the water, turn off the heat. Strain the liquid into a large jug. Let the water cool down.

Add the orange juice to the cooled infused water and stir to combine. Refrigerate the Orange Ice Tea for a couple of hours before you are ready to serve.

To serve the Spiced Orange Iced Tea, add 1 to 2 ice cubes in each serving glass, pour the tea and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs.

Serve Spiced Orange Iced Tea as a refreshing drink for the hot summer days.
