Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons Green tea leaves (or 2 green tea bags)
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces Whole cloves
- 3 pods Cardamom pods
- 1 inch Fresh ginger, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, cardamom pods (gently crushed), and sliced ginger to the water.
Reduce the heat to low and let the spices simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse their flavors into the water.
Turn off the heat and add the green tea leaves (or tea bags) to the hot water. Let it steep for 3-4 minutes.
Strain the tea into cups to remove the spices and tea leaves (if using tea bags, remove them at this step).
Sweeten the tea with honey or your preferred sweetener if desired, stirring well to combine.
Garnish with lemon slices for a refreshing twist, if you like.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, spiced green tea.
