How to Make Spiced Sweet Tea
- Bring 12 cups of water to a boil in a large pot, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
- Add 2 cinnamon sticks and 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks from the pot. Add 6-8 family size tea bags (or equivalent amount of loose leaf tea). Steep for 7 minutes.
- Remove the tea bags. Add 1 cup granulated sugar (or to taste).
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- **For Hot Tea:** Ladle the tea into mugs. Add 1 tablespoon of half-and-half to each mug. Stir and serve with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- **For Iced Tea:** Repeat steps 1-4. Let the tea cool completely to room temperature. Pour into a large pitcher and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
- Serve over ice, with 1 tablespoon of half-and-half per serving and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
- Enjoy!
