A refreshing and flavorful iced tea infused with citrus and mint, perfect for warm days.
Peel the oranges and lemon using a vegetable peeler, removing only the outer colored layer of the peel.
Use a sharp peeler to get thin strips of peel without the bitter white pith.
In a large pitcher, pour the boiling water over the tea bags and citrus peels. Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
Cover the pitcher while steeping to retain the heat and enhance the infusion.
Remove the tea bags and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate until chilled.
Chilling the tea allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Before serving, remove the citrus peels. Pour the tea over ice cubes in glasses.
Add some fresh citrus slices to the glasses for an appealing presentation.
Sweeten each glass to taste with honey and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Adjust the sweetness based on your preference, and stir well before serving.
