Beverages (Non-Alcoholic) Christmas Recipes

Cinnamon Orange Tea

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Cinnamon Orange Tea is comforting, full of spices and citrus, and gluten-free! Plus, it's single-serving, too! | spiritedandthensome.comI love tea and the people who drink it. I also love hearing about what these same individuals are doing while they savor a sip. For example, “I love a warm cup of Earl Grey while I read the most amazing Jane Austen novel.” Clearly a tie between Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. Or, “At the first sign of a cold, I sip a cup of chamomile tea.” I want to be the first example, but more often than not, I’m the second. And I thought, What is even the matter with me? How can I love tea and geek out over it but never take the time to savor a cup? So I went to work on a new tea recipe. It’s perfect for chilly winter months, novels, and maybe even a cold or two. Cinnamon Orange Tea is HERE, and it is my new lovey.

Cinnamon Orange Tea is my new favorite tea recipe! And I'm super picky! | spiritedandthensome.com

I seriously cannot even get over how warming and comforting it is. So if you are in the market for a new tea recipe, then let me tell you a little more about this one. First of all, Cinnamon Orange Tea is rooted in a basic black tea. Nothing fancy, nothing hard to find. Just black tea. Then I throw in a mandarin orange, which I like to slice rather than peel into wedges. Next I add cinnamon, and finally I top it off with honey to taste. For best results, I suggest working with a cup of steaming hot water and letting the tea, orange slices, cinnamon, and honey steep for about 5-10 minutes before consuming. Those extra minutes allow enough time for the flavors to come alive.

As I worked on the right balance of ingredients for Cinnamon Orange Tea, it dawned on me why I don’t gravitate to store-bought teas on the regular. Even though I crush on the idea 24/7, I like my tea with a little pizzazz. And fresh, natural, gluten-free ingredients are the trick to bringing out the best flavors. Cinnamon Orange Tea is proof that when the ingredients are real, the results are delicious.

Cinnamon Orange Tea is warm, inviting, and comforting during cold winter months! Gluten-free and ready in minutes! | spiritedandthensome.comSo now I am basically in front of the Christmas tree on a weekly basis, getting caught up on my novels. This time it’s Jessica Fletcher murder mysteries, and I’m feeling like a million bucks, while spending mere pennies for this delightful recipe. Because Cinnamon Orange Tea is just awesome like that. Single-Serving Cinnamon Orange Tea is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free! Warm and comforting, too! | spiritedandthensome.com
