Method

BEVERAGES

Prepare the Tea

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea leaves. If using, add the star anise and whole cloves for additional flavor.

Steep the Tea

Allow the tea to steep for 15-20 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer the flavor.

Strain the Tea

After steeping, strain the mixture into a pitcher to remove the tea leaves and spices. Add 1 cup of sugar to the hot tea and stir until fully dissolved.

Cool the Tea

Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

Serve the Tea

To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice. Top with 1/4 cup of evaporated milk for creaminess. If desired, add a splash of orange blossom water for a fragrant finish.
