Hot Spiced Tea for the Holidays (2024)

Ingredients

  • 6 cups water

  • 1 teaspoon whole cloves

  • 1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick

  • 6 tea bags (such as Lipton)

  • ¾ cup orange juice

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup pineapple juice

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

  1. Pour water into a pot; add cloves and cinnamon stick. Bring water to a boil; remove from heat. Add tea bags to water and set aside to steep until the tea is to your preferred strength, at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard cloves, cinnamon stick, and tea bags.

  2. Stir orange juice, sugar, pineapple juice, and lemon juice together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir the juice mixture until the sugar dissolves completely. Pour juice mixture into the spiced tea; serve hot.

Cook’s Note

I prefer to use fresh juices with pulp. The flavors are different. Canned pineapple in light syrup is best. Set the pineapple chunks aside for the rest of your holiday baking.

Store leftover tea in refrigerator and reheat as needed.
