This tea combines the earthy sweetness of cinnamon, the warm spice of nutmeg, and the subtle depth of cloves. Perfect for unwinding or serving guests who love unique tea blends!

Ingredients

Here’s everything you need for this aromatic tea:

2 cups water
1 cinnamon stick (or 1 tsp ground cinnamon)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
2-3 whole cloves
1/4 tsp allspice (optional, for a deeper flavor)
1-2 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
Tea bag of your choice (black or herbal works best, optional)

Optional Substitutes:

Swap honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
Use loose tea leaves instead of a tea bag for a stronger brew.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat The Water

Pour the water into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 2: Add The Spices

Once the water begins to simmer, add the cinnamon stick, ground nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Stir to mix the spices evenly. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Tip: If you’re using ground cinnamon instead of a stick, stir well to prevent clumping.

Step 3: Brew The Tea

Add your tea bag to the saucepan and let it steep for 2-3 minutes. If you prefer a caffeine-free option, skip the tea bag and let the spices shine.

Step 4: Sweeten And Serve

Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the tea into your cup to remove the spices. Stir in honey while the tea is hot, adjusting the sweetness to your liking.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Serve your tea warm, and pair it with a slice of cake, cookies, or simply savor it on its own.

Tips For The Perfect Brew

Balancing Flavors: Be cautious with nutmeg; too much can overpower the tea. Stick to the suggested measurements for a balanced flavor.
Enhance With Citrus: Add a slice of orange or lemon for a citrusy twist.
Dietary Adjustments: For a sugar-free version, skip the honey or use a sugar substitute like stevia.
Storage: If you make extra, store the tea in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this tea with:

Ginger cookies for a delightful spiced duo.
A slice of banana bread for a cozy snack.
Fresh fruit for a light and refreshing combo.
