Use your favorite black tea, but if you’re a fan of green, white, oolong or a special herbal infusion, use that instead. Not only is this creation absolutely thirst quenching, but it is really a fabulous pitcher or bowl to look at.

Here’s what you’ll need:

* One gallon of fresh spring or purified water
* Eight to ten Art of Tea teabags or eight to ten heaping teaspoons of your favorite Art of Tea blend
*Fresh fruit cut into small, wedge-like pieces
Here you can use your own discretion: Wash and peel two to three cups of oranges, kiwis, raspberries, strawberries, (any berry), lemons, limes, peaches,apples and pears(remove the seeds and core) etc. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use
* Ice cubes made from fruit juice or the same blend your are using for the Tea Sangria

Directions:
* Heat water to almost boiling, then brew the tea for a minimum of five minutes or to taste.
* Chill brewed tea for at least an hour
* Chill the glasses, pitcher or bowl in freezer
* Place fruit or tea cubes into bowl or pitcher
* Add fruit and pour tea over fruit and ice
* For an added treat garnish the chilled glass with a lemon or lime wedge
* Enjoy
