COOKING TIME

TIPS

  • For a stronger spiced flavour: Allow the cloves to steep in the tea longer before straining.
  • For a more intense citrus kick: Add a splash of freshly squeezed orange zest.
  • For a smoother drink: Strain the tea after adding the cloves to remove excess spice residue.
  • For an aesthetic touch: Garnish with a fresh orange slice or a cinnamon stick.
  • For a colder drink: Use frozen orange juice cubes instead of regular ice cubes.

VARIATIONS

  • Caffeine-free version: Replace black tea with rooibos or an herbal blend.
  • Fizzy version: Swap half of the tea with sparkling water for a bubbly iced tea.
  • Sweeter option: Use maple syrup or coconut sugar instead of honey.
  • Extra spice infusion: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.
  • Chilled latte version: Blend the tea with milk and ice for a creamy iced chai-inspired drink.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir it before serving.
  • Freezing: Pour the tea into ice cube trays and freeze. Use clove-infused ice cubes in future drinks.
  • Make-ahead tip: Brew and chill a larger batch for quick and easy servings throughout the day.
