4 sprigs mint
8-12 whole cloves
3 quarts water
1 family-size tea bag
2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup lemon juice
1 (12-ounce) can frozen orange juice, undiluted
1 (46-ounce) can pineapple juice
Place mint, cloves, and water in a 1½-gallon kettle, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Turn off heat. Add tea, and steep 15 minutes. Strain mixture, and discard solids. Add sugar, and stir to dissolve. Add juices. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving to blend flavors. Serve over ice, and garnish with fresh mint. Do not use a strong mint like peppermint or wintergreen. The ideal mint is julep mint.
