Notes
- Start with a strong tea in the recipe because it does get watered down with all the ice and regular water.
- The tea can be made with any citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit or lemon, plus with stone fruits like peach and apricots!
- In order to make a big batch, juice the oranges and make the tea and sugar mixture; then mix them as you serve with water.
- If using a sweetener in the recipe; sugar, jaggery, honey or maple syrup will work well.
