Citrus Black Tea

Iced teas are popular with black tea. Its thick flavor is strong enough to withstand ice, without being too watery or thin. All of our iced black-tea recipes start with citrus. You will often see orange-flavored packets of black tea. It is also common to add lemon. We chose to use both in this recipe. This recipe will give you a boost of vitamin C and bright flavor notes to your iced black.
