16 cups water
7 (or more) tea bags, decaf if you desire
1 bunch of mint
3 lemons, halved (Meyer lemons are best)
1 cup sugar
1 small can frozen orange juice
Boil the water. When it starts to boil heavily, turn off the burner and add the tea bags, mint, lemons (you can squeeze them as you add them) and sugar. Let steep until the tea is as strong as you like. Wait until it cools and add the orange juice, stir and strain. Serve chilled or with plenty of ice.
This is very good, especially on a hot summer day! The Lonergans at Tahoe have used it for a grown-up drink called "The Adjidaumo" by adding vodka.
