Ingredients
Scale
For the Tea:
- 1 cup water
- 1 black tea bag (or 1 tsp loose leaf black tea)
- peel of 1/2 orange (save some for garnish)
- 1 cinnamon stick
For Sweetening and Finishing:
- 1 tsp brown sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk (or your preferred milk)
- orange peel twist or orange slice for garnish
Instructions
- In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the orange peel and the cinnamon stick. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Add the black tea bag (or loose leaf tea) to the pot. Steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Strain the tea into your cup, removing the cinnamon stick and orange peel. Remove the tea bag afterward.
- Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract while the tea is still hot, so the sugar dissolves completely.
- Pour in the milk and allow the tea to gently heat for another 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Strain the tea into your cup, removing the cinnamon stick and orange peel.
- Add a twist of orange peel or a slice of orange to garnish, and enjoy your warm, fragrant Orange Cinnamon Milk Tea!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness of the tea by adding more or less brown sugar to suit your taste.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of milk, such as almond or oat milk, for a dairy-free option.
