Hot Spiced Tea

Beverages Recipes

Yield: Serves 25.

For an alcoholic drink, add medium or dark rum to cups before serving. Also tastes good chilled, without rum, and can be served in summer as iced tea.

• 1 teaspoon whole cloves
• 1-inch stick cinnamon
• 3 quarts water
• 2-1/2 tablespoons black tea
• Juice of 3 oranges
• Juice of 1-1/2 lemons
• 1/2 to 1 cup sugar

Tie spices loosely in cheesecloth bag and bring to a boil in water. Add tea, tied loosely in another cheesecloth bag, and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Remove bags of spices and tea. If juices are pulpy, strain them, then stir into tea. Add sugar to taste.
