4 cups water

4 black tea bags (or 4 tablespoons loose black tea)

1 large orange, sliced

2 cinnamon sticks

1/4 cup honey (or to taste)

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Orange slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Boil the Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

    Steep the Tea: Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea bags and cinnamon sticks. Cover and let steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you want the tea.

      Add Orange and Sweetener: After steeping, remove the tea bags and cinnamon sticks. While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Add the sliced orange to the tea and stir gently.

        Cool the Tea: Allow the tea to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.

          Serve: When ready to serve, fill tall glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled orange cinnamon tea over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional orange slices if desired.
