- 6 cups of cold water
- 5 tea bags

Instructions
- Pour cold water into a large glass pitcher.

- Leave the jug to stand at room temperature for an hour to start the brewing process.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator and allow to steep for 8-12 hours

Notes
- If using loose tea feel free to use a infuser or tea filter.
- Add more teabags if you want a STRONGER tasting tea.
- Keep in mind that ice cubes will dilute the taste so adjust the taste/tea if needed
- Use faux ice cubes if you want that extra chilled beverage without compromising the taste.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the orange peel and make sure the pith isn't attached to it. Some boiling water helps to shift it with a knife to scrape it off.
- For a more IN DEPTH flavour DO NOT strain just use a filter jug.
- This pitcher serves around 6-8 glasses depending on the size of the glass you use.
- Add more fruit if you wish, lime, lemon, apple strawberry the list is endless.
