Why This Recipe Works
We started our Orangeade Iced Tea recipe by skipping the heat. We steeped a large quantity of tea bags in room-temperature water for a strong-flavored brew without the bitterness. Instead of granulated sugar, we sweetened the tea with simple syrup—equal parts water and sugar heated long enough to dissolve the sugar. We flavored the syrup with orange zest and added lemonade for a unique iced tea.
