Iced Tea With A CitrusTwist

Iced Tea With A Citrus Twist is a refreshing blend of tea, orange juice and grapefruit juice. It is a refreshing picnic drink for hot summer days.

Ingredients:

4 cups (1 litre)	cold, strong tea
1 cup (250 ml)	orange juice
1/2 cup (125 ml)	grapefruit juice
1/4 cup (50 ml)	sugar

Combine tea, orange juice and grapefruit juice in a large pitcher. Stir in sugar (you may add more or less to your taste).

Serve over ice. (If you are taking this on a picnic, add ice to an insulated serving container just before heading out.) If desired, you may add a strip of orange peel or grapefruit peel (tied into a knot) as a garnish to your Iced Tea with a Twist.

Healthy Tip:

Oranges (and orange juice) are an excellent source of vitamin C and flavonoids. They are also a good source of vitamin A, B vitamins, amino acids, beta-carotene, potassium, folic acid, calcium, iodine, phosphorus, zinc, manganese and iron.

Grapefruit (and its juice) contains high amounts of vitamin C, as well as vitamins A, B complex, E and K. It also contains calcium, folic acid, phosphorus, potassium as well as cancer-fighting flavonoids and lycopene.
