Chilled Gypsy Tea...

2 oranges
3 lemons
13 cloves
1 tbs. ground allspice
1/2 cinnamon stick
3 tablespoons loose black tea in a tea ball or 3 teabags
2 qts. boiling water
1 1/4 cups of sugar

Squeeze juice from oranges and lemons and set aside.  In a large container put the cloves, allspice, cinnamon stick and tea.  Pour boiling water over the spices and tea mixture and let it stand about 10 minutes.  Strain and return liquid to the container.  Stir in orange juice, lemon juice and sugar.  Let it stand at room temperature till it's cooled enough to put it in the frig, or add lots of ice cubes to a tall glass and pour the gypsy tea down over the ice.  Add a sprig of fresh mint if you like!
