How to Make Creamy Spiced Tea
- In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 4 tea bags (black tea recommended), 1 orange peel (about 1 inch), 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and let it steep for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
- Whisk until the condensed milk is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Gently reheat the tea over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Do not boil.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs to remove the tea bags and spices.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
