Cranberry Spice Tea Recipe
Making Cranberry Spice Tea is really easy and saves you time and effort whilst allowing you to enjoy rich, fruity and spicy flavours:
-
Water Temperature: Water temperature of 90-95 Degrees Celsius which equates to 194-203 Fahrenheit is best for extracting full depth of fruit and spice flavours.
-
Steeping time: Pour 1-2 teaspoons of your desired tea leaves into a teapot or a teabag infuser and seep for a duration of 2-3 minutes in your tea. The longer it is steeped, the stronger the flavors will be, hence this timing can be changed as per personal preferences.
-
Enhancements: If the berries are a little too tart for your liking, sweeten them up a bit with honey or maple syrup. Turn up the tartness by adding some fresh lemon as well. For a more festive twist, some cinnamon sticks or a slice of orange make a great addition.
-
Iced tea option: Prepare the tea as you would normally, but this time allow it to cool so that it can be served with ice as an ice tea with a nice fruity flavor. Mint leaves or fruit slices can also be added to boost the flavor even more.
