Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 pieces black tea bags
- 1 medium orange
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 pieces cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh orange juice
Instructions
Pour 4 cups of water into a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Wash the orange thoroughly and use a vegetable peeler or a zester to peel off a few strips of the orange zest, making sure to avoid the white pith.
Add the orange zest strips, 1 cinnamon stick, and 4 cloves to the saucepan with the water.
Bring the water to a gentle boil and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Lower the heat and add 2 black tea bags to the saucepan. Let them steep for 2-3 minutes, or longer for a stronger tea.
While the tea steeps, juice the orange to yield about 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the tea bags, cinnamon stick, orange zest, and cloves.
Stir in the 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice and 2 tablespoons of honey. Taste and adjust the sweetness, if desired.
Pour the tea into mugs, serve hot, and enjoy your Orange Cinnamon Hot Tea!
