Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups of filtered water
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean, split)
- 3 orange slices (or 1 tsp orange zest)
- 2 tsp maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a small pot or tea kettle, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- Add cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, orange slices/zest and maple syrup (if using) to the pot or kettle. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. The longer you steep it the stronger the flavor will be.
- Strain the tea into your favorite mug and sweeten with more maple syrup if desired.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a small orange slice for presentation.
- Serve hot or iced (make sure to allow the tea to cool completely first so the ice doesn't immediately melt and dilute the flavor).
Notes
- Steep longer for stronger flavor. Letting the tea steep longer intensifies its flavors, giving you a more robust and aromatic brew.
- Make it your own! Add a splash of almond or walnut milk for more creaminess, or switch things up with a hint of lemon or other citrus fruits.
