I found this recipe in a book I picked up at a thrift shop. I'm not really a tea drinker so like to find ways to get those good anti-oxidants without the tea taste. This is all orange & spice so I quite liked it. I didn't have whole cloves so made mine with a dash of ground cloves instead. I had one cup warm & then put the rest in the fridge to have iced, it was nice both ways. Ingredients:
1 1/4 liters boiling water |
50 g sugar |
10 cloves |
2 small cinnamon sticks |
4 tea bags |
4 tablespoons orange juice |
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/4 orange, rind of (try not to get the pith as this will make it bitter.) |
honey |
cinnamon stick, to serve |
Directions:
1. Combine water, sugar, cloves & cinnamon in a saucepan, mix & bring to the boil.
2. Remove from heat & add tea bags, infuse for 4 minutes.
3. Strain & stir in remaining ingredients.
4. Place over a low heat to keep warm but do not boil.
5. Discard orange peel & add honey to taste, (I added about 1 tsp per cup).
6. Serve with long cinnamon sticks as mixers.
