Light Recipe: Citrus Tea Punch

I’m not a very “drinky” person, I like to drink a beer from time to time, a Piña Colada at night, a whiskey cream but I can spend months without a drink.

For today’s light recipe and once we are in summer (at least half of the world), I think it is appropriate to bring here another drink. I say another because I’ve already posted one drink recipe before: Stirrings Red Sangria.

I found the recipe I’m posting today on My Recipes and with no further delay here it is Citrus Tea Punch:

Ingredients

  • 6 cups water, divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 2 family-sized tea bags
  • 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 (6-ounce) can thawed lemonade concentrate, undiluted
  • Ice
  • Lemon slices (optional)

Preparation

  • Combine 4 cups water and sugar in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Cook until sugar dissolves; remove from heat.
  • Add cloves, tea bags, and cinnamon; steep 5 minutes.
  • Strain mixture through a sieve into a pitcher; discard solids. Add remaining 2 cups water, juice, and lemonade concentrate; stir well.
  • Chill. Serve over ice, and garnish with lemon slices, if desired.

12 servings (serving size: about 2/3 cup)

This recipe is low fat so no need to check on Fenterdren reviews or other similar products.
