Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

    Add Tea

    Once the water is boiling, add 4 tsp of loose tea leaves or 4 tea bags to the boiling water.

    Add Seasonal Flavors

    Add the cinnamon stick, sliced fresh ginger, cloves, star anise, and orange peel to the pot. Stir to combine.

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the tea simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

    After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, adjusting to taste.
