SPICED CITRUS TEA MIX



Spiced Citrus Tea Mix image

This is a great thing to keep in an office desk drawer for an easy afternoon pick-me-up with a little caffeine, some vitamin C, and less sugar than soda. If you put it in a pretty jar, it makes a nice gift. I got this recipe from my mom and changed it up a bit (made it less sweet). It's good hot or cold.

The power of tea, i love it....

Categories     Other Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tea bag, citrus flavor
1 tsp orange juice, fresh
1 tsp honey
orange slices

Steps:

  • 1. Place tea bag into cup or mug. Pour boiling water over tea bag; steep 3 to 5 minutes. Remove tea bag, pressing out liquid. Discard tea bag. Serve with orange juice and honey. Garnish with orange slices, I desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh citrus fruits: Fresh citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and limes, will provide the best flavor for your tea. If you don't have fresh citrus fruits on hand, you can use bottled citrus juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Choose the right spices: The spices you use in your tea will depend on your personal preference. Some popular choices include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Steep the tea for the proper amount of time: The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. However, if you steep the tea for too long, it can become bitter.
  • Sweeten the tea to taste: If you like your tea sweet, you can add honey, sugar, or another sweetener to taste. You can also add a splash of milk or cream.

Conclusion:

Citrus spiced tea is a delicious and refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It is a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants, and it can help to boost the immune system. Citrus spiced tea is also a great way to warm up on a cold day or to relax after a long day.
