Pomegranate Citrus Iced Tea

By Taste of Lime

This iced tea gets its deep, rich color from pomegranate juice and black tea. Orange and lime add a sweet-tart citrusy flavor. It’s a great alternative to sugary drinks like soda. It’s one of our favorites during the summer, but it’s also delicious any time of the year.

Tip

After I steep the tea, I transfer it to a large pan where I mix everything together. Since hot liquid can easily crack glass, I wait until the tea has cooled before I pour it into my glass serving pitcher.
