A refreshing and aromatic iced tea infused with citrus and warm spices.
Combine the water, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Boiling the spices releases their full aroma and flavor.
Add the tea bags to the spiced water, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.
Covering the tea while steeping helps retain the heat and enhances the infusion.
In another saucepan, combine the sugar, orange juice, and lemon juice. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Stir constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly.
Strain the tea into the citrus mixture and stir well.
Straining removes the spices and tea bags, leaving a smooth beverage.
Chill the tea in the refrigerator and serve over ice.
Serve with a slice of orange or lemon for a decorative touch.
