Spiced Chai Mandarin Orange Iced Tea

Spiced Chai Mandarin Orange Iced Tea


3 Spiced Chai Tea Bags (Stash) 
3 Mandarin Orange Tea Bags (Lipton)
Frozen Strawberries (optional)
Honey (or other optional sweetener) 



Boil a small pot of water. While waiting for the water to boil, remove any paper tags and staples from the bags. If they have strings I tie them together so I don't waste time fishing them out when they're done. 
I chose 3 black tea and 3 green tea for this batch. Once the water is boiling, add the tea bags and boil for 5 minutes. 
While boiling, add your sweetener to the pitcher. I used about 1/4 cup of honey (the rest of my jar.) In order to get all of the honey out I just added warm water, shook it up and poured it in the pitcher. I also added 3 frozen strawberries from the bunch I purchased at the farmers market this weekend.

Add the hot tea (minus the tea bags!) to the pitcher and stir to dissolve your sweetener. Once dissolved, fill the pitcher with water and add ice =)
