Cinnamon Nutmeg Tea Recipe For A Warm, Comforting Drink
Ingredients
- 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
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.
