This is my favorite orange tea! I only really drink it iced (unless I mix it with some straight green tea). If made with rock sugar it tastes just like those candy oranges I got at the drugstore with Gram as a kid. I can’t rave enough about this tea so I’ll keep it short. This isn’t a tart tea, it’s a very mild blend. Whenever I make this as an iced tea it’s usually gone within the hour, and forget about getting any if my friends in my dorm want any; it lasts about 5 minutes.
I brew all of Teavanas teas with more tea than they suggest so I make 2tsp. per hot cup 3 1/2 for iced. If it’s a hot cup it goes in for 5-6 minutes iced cup goes in for 10 minutes or more depending on how many cups I need to make in my steeper and then poured over those refreeze able ice cubes you can get. It really preserves the flavor without watering down.
