Strain tea into desired container, add sugar and orange slices and serve over ice.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice.

Chef Notes: This tea recipe can easily be doubled for a larger serving. When using
herbs in tea making, longer is not better. Heating the herbs for extended time can
release unfavorable qualities and bitterness found in herbs. The key is to add
MORE herbs to strengthen flavor.
