Hot Spiced Tea

8 c. water
8 tea bags (orange tea)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 can frozen lemonade, reconstituted
1 can frozen orange juice, reconstituted
2 cinnamon sticks
6-8 cloves

Heat water.  Turn off fire and place tea bags in water.  Steep for 5 minutes.  Remove tea bags.  Stir in sugar until dissolved.  Mix the lemonade and orange juice in a separate pitcher.  Pour 1/2 the total juice into the tea (about 8 cups).  Add cinnamon and cloves and heat over very low heat.




Updated recipe (11/6/22):
8 c. water
16 tea bags (Celestial Seasonings) - I use 10-12 Citrus Sunrise & 4-6 Cinnamon Apple Spice
3 frozen juices (I like orange mango, pink lemonade, & limeade)
1 cinnamon stick
6-8 cloves

Place water in largest soup pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to a simmer and add tea bags.  Allow tea bags to steep for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the water.  Add frozen juices and water as directed on can.  Add cinnamon sticks & cloves.  Allow to simmer on very low heat.  Store in refrigerator.
