Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 4 chamomile tea bags
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Honey or sweetener (to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling 4 cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Ensure the water reaches a rolling boil.
- Once the water is boiling, remove the saucepan from heat. Add 4 chamomile tea bags and 1 cinnamon stick to the hot water.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the tea steep for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors of the chamomile and cinnamon to infuse into the water.
- After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags and the cinnamon stick from the saucepan. You can discard them or compost them if you prefer.
- While the tea is still warm, add honey or your preferred sweetener to taste. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
- Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the tea to a pitcher and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to chill.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled herbal cinnamon chamomile tea over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with fresh lemon slices for a refreshing touch and added flavor.
- Enjoy your iced herbal cinnamon chamomile tea as a delightful and soothing beverage!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality chamomile tea bags for the most robust flavor.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider using raw honey instead of regular sweetener.
- If you prefer a stronger cinnamon taste, lightly crush the cinnamon stick before steeping.
- Experiment with additional garnishes like mint leaves or a small orange slice for variety.
- For a more intense tea, you can steep the tea bags and cinnamon stick for up to 7 minutes.
- Use filtered water for the cleanest, purest taste.
- Make a larger batch and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for quick, refreshing drinks.
