Directions

• STEP ONE

  Put 4 cups of the water and the La Fe brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Add La Fe cinnamon sticks, ginger slices, and/or a few allspice berries if you would like. Heat until boiling and the sugar has dissolved.

• STEP TWO

  Add the tea bags and cover until fully steeped; about 20 minutes.

• STEP THREE

  Strain into a pitcher and discard the used tea bags, La Fe cinnamon sticks, and/or allspice berries. (At this point you can store ahead the concentrate, chilled, until ready to make the drink.)

• STEP FOUR

  Add remaining 4 cups of water (or if you want to chill the drink quickly, ice and water) to the concentrate, and chill.

• STEP FIVE

  Alternatively you can add ice and chilled soda water for a bubbly version.

• STEP SIX

  Add a little La Fe lime juice for a more punch-like flavor.

• STEP SEVEN

  Serve over ice with a slice of orange or lime.
