Our home economists use oranges and lemon to lend a lovely citrus flavor to ordinary black tea. Ingredients:
2 medium oranges |
1 medium lemon |
4 cardamom pods |
4 whole cloves |
4 teaspoons english breakfast tea leaves or other black tea leaves |
4 cups boiling water |
Directions:
1. Using a citrus zester, remove peel from oranges and lemon in long narrow strips. (Save fruit for another use.) Place the peel strips, cardamom and cloves in a large bowl. With the end of a wooden spoon handle, crush mixture until aromas are released.
2. Add tea leaves and boiling water. Cover and steep for 6 minutes. Strain tea, discarding peel mixture. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
