Hi again, Anita.
Correction. Don’t add ice to the pitcher until you’re ready to serve! Sorry!

Hi, Anita!
Susan from the Curio kitchen, here. I haven’t tried this, but here’s where I’d start
Boil 3 cups water with 1/2 cup sweetner. Add 3 black tea bags plus the pouch of spices. Set off the heat. Pull the tea bags out after 6 minutes. Leave the rest to steep for 30 minutes.
Strain the concentrate into a pitcher with ice and stir in 2 cups OJ. TASTE … You may need to dilute further with more water or adjust sweetener.. You could add a cup of apple juice.
Add 4 cups fruit (chopped peaches, nectarines, plums, pitted sweet cherries, etc. Chill for 4 hours. Serve over.
Let me know how you make out!
Salut!
