INGREDIENTS

3 cups water
1/2 an orange peel (medium size), cut into small thin strips
4 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoon fresh orange juice
2 Cinnamon Tea bags

DIRECTIONS

Cut 1/2 an orange peel into thin square strips
Add 3 cups cold water into a pan, drop the orange peel and heat on medium (5 setting) and heat
When the water starts to boil, drop the two bags into the pan and let it brew for 2 minutes
Remove from heat and let it sit for another 3 minutes, squeeze the tea bag and remove and then strain and pout into a separate container
Add two teaspoons of honey
Add two teaspoons of fresh orange juice
Let it cool and refrigerator (2 hours or overnight)
Fill 3/4 of the glass with the tea and balance1/4 glass with whole ice cubes. Do not use crushed Ice.

Notes:

1. When you taste this warm, it will not taste as good. However when you refrigerate the tea and add ice cubes, the change in taste is quite remarkable.

2. Use a medium sized Orange. If you use a large orange, you should use less as it will overpower to taste.

2. Note we put in 3 cups of water to make two cups. This is because some of the water will evaporate and the some will be absorbed by the tea leaves, which is why we added an extra cup of water.

4. If you are making large quantities for the family, increase the size accordingly. Add iced cubes instead of crushed iced cubes as the crushed ice will melt faster and slightly dilute the taste.
