Cinnamon, cloves and apricot spice is a triangle defense invented for a cold winter's day, but can taste even better on a hot Summer day.  Although this European style tea is great hot, it is all the more better chilled.  The ice-and-spicy elements for this sun tea will take you for a stroll down the cobblestone streets and land you a seat at a patio of a European cafe on a hot summer day.  

Ingredients:

4-5 heaping tablespoons of apricot spiced loose leaf tea like Apricot Chai

1 cinnamon stick

3 whole cloves

1 gallon filtered water

Large glass pot with lid

Add water in the glass teapot.  Stir in sugar until dissolved.  Combine other ingredients into the glass teapot.  Steep in direct sunlight for 6 hours or more according to taste. Strain liquid out into glasses containing ice. Garnish with a slice of orange.
