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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
Stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
Step 6
Pour the spiced honey tea into cups and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a slice of lemon for a citrusy twist.
Step 7
Enjoy the warm, aromatic flavors of your homemade Spiced Honey Tea!
