Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea

By

#1: Grab the vegetable peeler and an orange and let’s get started.  Hold the orange firmly in one hand and, with the other hand, cut away the orange peel (the very outer, orange skin of the orange).  If you get a little of the white peel, the pith (remind anyone of Ethel Thayer?) it isn’t a big deal.


#2: “Muddling”.  All it means, in this instance, is to mash an orange slice into the tea.  Right before serving the tea, place one half of an orange slice in the bottom of each glass and muddle, or mash, the orange to release the juice and oils.  Since I don’t own a muddler, I use the rounded end of my wooden spoon.  Muddle with slight force; just a couple of pushes and twists should be enough.

  •  Prep Time 5 minutes
  •  Cook Time 20 minutes
  •  Total Time 25 minutes
  •  Servings 4 servings
  •  Author Simply Sated

Ingredients


  • 2-4 family-size or 8 regular-size tea bags
  • 8 cups water
  • 2 oranges – outer peel only
  • 1 orange to cut slices for garnishing
  • ½-1 cup light brown sugar
  • ice - crushed or cubed

Instructions

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel each orange in a continuous spiral (if possible). Be careful to peel the outer orange-colored peel only. This is possible and easy once you get the correct angle with the vegetable peeler. If you accidentally get some of the white layers under the peel, no worries, but do try to cut off just the orange peel.
  • Pour water into a large saucepan and add the tea bags and orange peel. Cover and bring the water to a boil, then immediately take the pan off the heat.
  • Add brown sugar, stir and cover. Let the mixture steep (or rest) for 15-30 minutes.
  • Remove the tea bags and orange peel. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
  • To serve, place a ½ orange slice in the bottom of each glass, then muddle the orange slice with the handle of a wooden spoon (see image) enough to release its juice and oil.
  • Add ice then pour the orange-infused tea into the glasses.
  • Garnish with orange slices and mint, if desired.
