Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 4 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 pieces Cinnamon sticks
- 6 pieces Cloves
- 5 pieces Allspice berries
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and add the black tea bags, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries, and orange zest.
Simmer the mixture gently for 10 minutes to allow the tea and spices to infuse.
Remove the pot from the heat and strain the tea mixture into a large heatproof bowl or pitcher to remove the spices and tea bags.
Return the strained tea to the pot and place it back on low heat.
Stir in the orange juice, apple cider, and honey until everything is well combined and heated through, about 5 minutes.
Taste the spiced tea and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, if desired.
Serve hot in mugs, garnished with a slice of orange or a cinnamon stick, if you like.
