A glass of cranberry-infused chilled tea is a flavour sensation and the ultimate thirst-quencher on a hot summer's day Time to prepare doesn't include 24 hours for ice cubes Ingredients:
1 small orange |
4 english breakfast tea bags |
1 liter boiling water |
1 liter cranberry juice |
2 tablespoons caster sugar |
Directions:
1. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the rind from the orange. Use a small sharp knife to remove the white pith from the rind.
2. Place the rind and tea bags in a large heatproof jug. Pour over the water. Set aside for 20 minutes to infuse.
3. Remove the tea bags and rind, and discard. Add the cranberry juice and sugar to the jug, and stir to combine.

5. Remove the ice cubes from the trays and place in a serving jug. Pour over the tea mixture and serve.
