This March Day

This world is not our home – a fact sure to make you lonely. Sit by me for a spell while we wait for the next one.

Wedding Iced Tea Recipe – A Citrusy and Bright Delight

My husband and I were married on a spring morning. I concocted this iced tea recipe to serve with brunch afterwards. It was just as popular as the mimosa bar!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 sprigs mint (or more to taste)
  • 1 sprig lemon balm
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 black tea bags
  • 4 orange zinger tea bags
  • 6 cups water

Steps

1

Bring water to a boil. Steep mint, lemon balm, and tea bags for 10-20 minutes.

2

Remove mint, lemon balm, and tea bags. Stir in sugar and honey until dissolved.

3

Pour orange juice, lemon juice, and tea mixture into serving pitcher.

4

Cool in refrigerator.

5

Serve over ice. Garnish with more mint and an orange slice.

Notes

  1. All aspects of this tea can be adjusted to your liking – more sugar, less mint, more orange juice, etc. Have fun with it!
  2. Omit the lemon balm if it is not easily available.
  3. You can make this a delightful cocktail by adding white rum and club soda.
