Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 1 black tea bag or 2 teaspoons loose leaf black tea

Spices and Water

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1-inch piece of ginger root
  • ¼ teaspoon whole cloves
  • 1¼ cups water

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey
  • Optional garnish: lemon slice and cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tea base: Place the black tea bag or loose leaf black tea into a small teapot or French press and set aside.
  2. Simmer the spices: Break the cinnamon stick into pieces. Peel the ginger root and slice it thinly. In a small pot, add the cinnamon pieces, ginger slices, whole cloves, and 1¼ cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and let it simmer gently for 3 minutes to extract the flavors.
  3. Steep the tea: Carefully pour the hot water and spice mixture over the prepared black tea in the teapot or French press. Allow it to steep for 5 minutes to develop a rich, fragrant brew.
  4. Strain and sweeten: Strain the mixture into a mug to remove the spices and tea leaves. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and honey to taste, mixing until well combined.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with a slice of lemon and a cinnamon stick if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting warmth of this non-alcoholic hot toddy.
