1 1/3 cup tea concentrate (qv)
1 cinnamon stick, 2 long
1 orange peel (colored part)
2 1/3 cup water, sparkling =to=-
1/2 cup orange juice or tangerine juice con, centrate, thawed
Directions
Combine tea concentrate, orange peel and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and
bring to a boil. Cover and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Discard orange
peel and cinnamon stick and combine with sparkling water. To make liquid
layers, pour thawed orange juice into bottom of each glass, then gently
pour in tea concentrate. Stir before sipping. (Or, dilute the concentrate
to strength, and pour the tea onto a spoon resting right on the surface of
the juice layer. The spoon breaks up the vertical motion of the incoming
liquid and helps keep the layers separate.) Source: Sunset Magazine: August
