Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Milk (optional)
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
If using a cinnamon stick, add it to the boiling water and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavor.
Add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) to the water and allow them to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. If using tea bags, remove them now; if using loose leaves, strain the tea into a heat-safe teapot or directly into cups.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar until it fully dissolves. Adjust sweetness to taste if desired.
If you prefer milk tea, gently stir in 1/4 cup of milk at this stage, and optionally reheat the tea for 1-2 minutes without bringing it to a boil.
Pour the tea into cups and serve warm. Optionally garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for extra warmth.
