  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • Juice and zest of 2 large limes

Instructions

  1. Bring 6 cups water, sugar, thyme, cinnamon sticks, lime juice and lime zest to a boil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.

  3. Remove the tea bags and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  4. Strain the mixture into a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Pour the tea into 4 ice-filled glasses and serve.
