Quench your thirst with the zesty sophistication of Orange Earl Grey Iced Tea, a refreshing fusion of classic Earl Grey tea and vibrant citrus flavors. This invigorating beverage combines freshly brewed Earl Grey with a splash of fresh orange juice and a hint of fragrant orange zest for a bold yet balanced flavor profile. Sweetened with honey (or your preferred sweetener) and served over ice, it’s the perfect way to cool down on a warm day. The aromatic bergamot notes of the tea pair beautifully with the bright citrus twist, while optional garnishes of orange slices and fresh mint leaves add a touch of elegance. Ready in just minutes, this easy homemade iced tea is ideal for summer gatherings, relaxing afternoons, or whenever you crave a sophisticated, citrusy sip.
Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and steep the Earl Grey tea bags in the hot water for 5 minutes.
While the tea is steeping, zest one orange to obtain 1 tablespoon of orange zest and juice enough oranges to collect 1 cup of fresh orange juice.
Remove the tea bags and stir in the orange zest, orange juice, and honey or sweetener. Mix well until the honey dissolves completely.
Allow the tea mixture to cool to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.
Fill a large pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes and pour the cooled tea mixture over the ice.
Stir well and taste; adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or sweetener.
Serve the Orange Earl Grey Iced Tea in individual glasses over additional ice if desired, garnished with fresh orange slices and mint leaves.
