Peel a fresh orange, ensuring you only take the outer zest and not the bitter white pith. Chop the peel into small strips if necessary.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, orange peel, and the cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Turn off the heat and add the black tea leaves to the saucepan. Cover and allow the tea to steep for 3-4 minutes.
Strain the tea into cups, discarding the solids.
Sweeten with honey if desired and stir to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, fragrant flavors.
