Zubereitung von Southern Spiced Tea
- Heat 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Place 4 black tea bags in a heat-resistant pitcher or teapot. Pour boiling water over the tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes.
- While the tea steeps, prepare the spiced syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 10 whole cloves.
- Bring the syrup mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the clove flavor to infuse.
- Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Remove the tea bags from the steeped tea. Add the cooled spiced syrup, 1/2 cup of orange juice, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the tea.
- Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Serve hot or chilled over ice. Garnish with orange slices or cinnamon sticks (optional).
