Ingredients for Creamy Spiced Tea

  • Unsweetened Instant Tea
  • Orange Zest
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Ground Cloves
  • Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk

How to Make Creamy Spiced Tea

  1. 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.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and let it steep for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
  4. Whisk until the condensed milk is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Gently reheat the tea over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Do not boil.
  6. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs to remove the tea bags and spices.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
  8. 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.
