Just lovely on a cold day. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. A nice variation is to add some ginger root to the boiling water.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons black tea
1/4 teaspoon dried mint
1/2 teaspoon allspice
6 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh is best)
3/4 cup orange juice (fresh is best)
2 quarts water, boiling
Directions:
1. Boil water and sugar together for 5 minutes; add tea, mint and allspice.
2. Cover and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
3. Strain, add fruit juices, boiling water and bring to a boil.
