Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves (or 4 tea bags)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces whole cloves
- 3 pieces green cardamom pods (slightly crushed)
- 1 inch fresh ginger (thinly sliced)
- 1 piece lemon (sliced, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, cardamom pods, and sliced fresh ginger. Reduce the heat to medium and let the spices simmer for 5 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) to the saucepan and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. If you prefer stronger tea, you can steep it for up to 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and strain the tea into a teapot or heatproof pitcher to remove the spices and tea leaves (or remove the tea bags).
Stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
Pour the spiced honey tea into cups and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a slice of lemon for a citrusy twist.
Enjoy the warm, aromatic flavors of your homemade Spiced Honey Tea!
