Directions
Step 1
In a large pot or saucepan, bring the 6 cups of water to a boil.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for 5 minutes, then carefully remove and discard the tea bags.

Step 4
Slice the lemon and orange into thin rounds and add them to the pot. Gently simmer the mixture over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the flavors blend.
Step 5
Taste the tea and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar, if desired.
Step 6
Remove from heat and strain the tea into a heatproof pitcher or serve directly from the pot if you prefer to include the fruit slices as a garnish.
Step 7
Pour the tea into individual mugs or teacups and serve warm. Optionally, garnish each cup with a fresh slice of lemon or orange.
