Spiced Fruit Tea

Awesome Summer drink!!  This fruit tea reminded me of a Bay Breeze minus the alcohol. I absolutely love fruit tea's and fruity drinks so this was right up my alley. I will definitely try this with Malibu Coconut Rum the next time I make it.

Recipe:

5 cups boiling water
5 bags orange-flavored spiced herb tea
⅓ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (46 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple juice
2 cups cranberry juice
⅓ cup lime juice
Assorted fresh fruit, such as pineapple chunks, orange slices, kumquat slices, and/or lime slices (optional)
Fresh mint leaves (optional)

1) Pour the boiling water into a very large bowl. Add tea bags; let steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags. Stir in sugar and cinnamon until sugar dissolves. Stir in pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and lime juice. Cover and chill for 4 hours or up to 3 days.

2) If desired, garnish with fresh fruit and/or mint.

Notes: Fruit ice cubes: Pour 3 cups of the tea mixture into two clean ice cube trays, adding fruit. Cover and freeze for 4 hours or until firm.

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes | Other Time: Chill 4 hours | Yields: 8 to 10 servings
