2. Steep: Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for developing a robust flavor. If you’re using loose tea leaves, make sure to strain them out after steeping.

3. Sweeten the Tea: After removing the tea bags or straining the leaves, add the sugar to the hot tea. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a sweetened tea base.

4. Cool the Tea: Place the ice cubes into a 2-quart serving pitcher. Pour the hot tea over the ice cubes, which will help to cool it down quickly.

5. Add Citrus: Stir in the fresh lemon juice and orange juice, enhancing the tea with a burst of citrusy flavor.

6. Combine with Ginger Ale: Gently stir in the chilled ginger ale. This will give your tea cooler a refreshing fizz and a delightful tang.

7. Serve: Pour the Citrus Tea Cooler into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy the refreshing combination of tea and citrus with a fizzy twist!

Notes

• Adjust the sugar to suit your taste preferences. You can start with 3/4 cup and add more if you prefer a sweeter beverage.
• For an extra touch, garnish with lemon or orange slices for a visually appealing presentation.
