Orange Tea

Rebecca Lindamood
Prep Time 5 minutes
Delicate, aromatic, cozy, and just a little bit sweet, fragrant orange tea is infused with the sunshiny essence of orange with a hint of cinnamon. Keep oranges and cinnamon sticks on hand through back to school and the chilly months. Fight cold and flu season the tasty way!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oranges scrubbed and thinly sliced, 4 slices reserved for garnish
  • 2 cinnamon sticks plus extra for serving
  • sprigs fresh rosemary optional

Instructions
 

  • Reserve two slices of orange for garnish and place the rest of the orange slices and 2 cinnamon sticks in a 2 quart saucepan. Pour in 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let it steep for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the orange tea through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the solids. Pour into mugs.
    Serve hot or warm, plain, or sweetened to taste with honey. Garnish each mug with an additional slice of fresh orange, a cinnamon stick, and -if desired- a sprig of rosemary.
  • Transfer any extra into a jar with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
