Method
Preparing the Tea
Add Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 2 tablespoons of loose tea leaves or 2 tea bags. If using fresh ginger or a cinnamon stick, add them at this stage.
Strain the Tea
If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a cup or teapot. If using tea bags, simply remove the bags.
Adding Flavorings
Sweeten the Tea
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of honey to the hot tea and stir until dissolved.
Add Lemon Juice
For a citrusy flavor, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and stir.
Add Milk (Optional)
If you like your tea creamy, add 1 cup of milk and stir well.
