    A cooling drink with few calories and no caffeine!

    5 bags of Tetley Red tea
    3-5 TBS Sugar
    Juice of a Lemon
    Juice of an Orange
    boiling water
    Iced water
    Ice cubes
    Lemon slices & Orange slices for garnish (optional)

    Pour 3/4 cup to a cup of boiling water on to tea bags and let steep for about 3 minutes, do not disturb tea bags or steep for too long to avoid the tea becoming bitter.
    Remove tea bags and add sugar - the tea will be extra sweet at this point. Add ice water and cubes to cool it to room temp.
    Extract juice form orange and lemon into a serving jug. Add cooled tea and adjust sweetness before adding more ice cubes and lemon/orange slices for garnish.
    *It is important to bring tea to at least room temperature before adding citrus juices or your iced tea will be cloudy.
    Pour into tall chilled glasses and enjoy on a hot summer day!
