Rayette’s Pick Me Up Ice Tea

Prepare Simple Syrup

1 part sugar
1 part water

Bring water to a boil.

Dissolve the sugar into the boiling water.  When completely dissolved, remove the pan from the heat.

Allow to cool, bottle, and refrigerate.

In a separate pan, combine:

2 cups water
12 whole cloves
4 sticks cinnamon

Bring to a boil, then simmer for ten minutes.  Strain and discard spices.

Brew a batch of tea, one bag per cup, and steep until strong.  We like English Breakfast, but any pekoe will do.

Stir in spice mixture,

Add two 2 cups orange juice (More or less to taste)

Sweeten with simple syrup.

Serve over crushed Ice.  A perfect refresher for a summer day.
