This is a wonderful healthy tea that is filled with antioxidants! I make the whole recipe and heat it up as I want some all week long. ENJOY!

ingredients

6 individual tea bags (use decaf if you plan to drink this in the evening like I sometimes do when the kids are in bed).
2 tsp. whole cloves
2 sticks cinnamon
4 qt. boiling water
2 C. sugar
2 C. pineapple juice
1 (6oz.) can frozen orange juice, undiluted
3/4 C. lemon juice

directions

Pour boiling water over tea bags, cloves and cinnamon; steep 10-15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Heat and serve. Makes about 5 quarts. This stores well in refrigerator or may be frozen.

1
I just boil the water in a large pot and add tea bags and then the rest.
2
Also, the next time I make this I will try leaving out the 2 c. of sugar. I am not sure it needs it and I am really trying to cut back on sugar.

notes

Remember, a balanced diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables can provide you with immediate health and energy benefits and help fight the effects of aging for years to come. Happy antioxidizing!
