SPICED ICED TEA

This is by far my favourite iced tea. It’s almost like to dessert. It’s sweet and creamy with all these wonderful spices infused into it. I look forward to making this in the summer, but can be savoured anytime of the year.

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  

• 5 cups water
• 8 black tea bags
• 5 whole star anise pods
• 7 cardamom pods smashed
• 4 cloves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• vanilla bean
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

 

• In a medium saucepan, on medium heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the star anise, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon stick.
• Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and remove the seeds. Add the seeds and the vanilla bean to the water.
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the tea bags. Allow the tea to steep and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Remove the spices and the tea bags. Whisk in the condensed milk.
• Pour into a large pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.

Notes

This tea can be served over ice, but I like to chill it as the ice will dilute it. 

You can garnish it with the star anise or a cinnamon stick. 

This will keep in the fridge for a few days. 

I love this as an iced tea, but alternatively, this can also be served warm.
