For a country obsessed with Chai and has such scorching summer, I don’t really see people making enough Iced Tea in India. Sure, I’ve seen people either make it from a packaged powder iced tea or have it at a really expensive cafe but that doesn’t count as homemade, now does it? However, I am going to show you how easy, convenient and quick it is to make Iced tea from scratch at home. Moreover, we are making a flavoured one i.e. Orange Iced Tea but feel free to replace or omit the oranges to enjoy the classic iced tea.
What I absolutely love about this Orange Iced Tea recipe is that it needs just a few, easily available ingredients. Also, you can make it in huge batches and store it in the refrigerator and serve it to your friends and family or any guests over the course of 2-3 days. Importantly, this recipe is totally adaptable so you can brew your tea strong or light, make it unsweetened or sweetened.
