Transform pineapple skins into a refreshing, honey sweetened iced tea that's not only delicious but also packed with nutrients and health benefits.
To a large pot, add pineapple skins, raw honey, orange juice, and 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil.
NOTE: The pineapple skins should be just barely covered with water.
Once it begins boiling reduce the heat to a simmer, allow it to break down the pineapple skins for 20 to 25 minutes.
Turn off heat, add the black tea bags, and steep for 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove the black tea bags. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a large pitcher.
NOTE: Press the pineapple skins into the side of the strainer or hand-squeeze the skins to release all the pineapple juices.
Add 3 cups of water and stir together until everything is well combined. Pour into glasses with ice and serve.
