Quick And Awesome Decaffeinated Iced Tea

1. 1

   Using a 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup (must be microwaveable), add about 3 cups water. I prefer purified or bottled, room temp is best.

2. 2

   Put the three tea bags in the water and lightly knead the bags to make sure they are soaked. Don't over do it or they could tear.

3. 3

   Place the measuring cup into microwave and cook for 3 minutes. Depending on your power output you may increase or decrease the time.

4. 4

   Let the tea steep for about 15 minutes.

5. 5

   While it is steeping, cut an orange into 3-4 slices, throwing out the ends.

6. 6

   Drop the slices into a 1 gallon pitcher.

7. 7

   Add the sugar, covering the slices pretty good.

8. 8

   (Sometimes I shake the pitcher to ensure the sugar coats the orange slices well)

9. 9

   When tea had steeped and is still warm, pour over the orange/sugar and stir. Warm tea will help dissolve the sugar making a better blended product.

10. 10

    Add water, not a full gallon as this will dilute the recipe. I use about 3/4 gallon. Stir well.

11. 11

    Pour over lots of ice and enjoy!
