Make your own spicy, fruity tea drink, and inhale the fragrance of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and pomegranate as you sip. 

Ingredients

Cinnamon Syrup

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 slice fresh ginger
• 2 whole cloves

Tea

• 2 cups water
• 2 orange spice teabags, black
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• Cinnamon sticks for garnish

Preparation

1. In a small pot, combine the syrup ingredients and place over medium-high heat. Stir frequently as the liquid comes to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let stand until cooled. Strain into a jar and cover tightly. Lasts up to 2 months refrigerated.
2. For the tea, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then add the teabags and stir. Remove from heat and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the teabags and discard. Stir in the pomegranate juice and 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon syrup, and warm over medium heat to desired temperature for serving. Pour into two mugs. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Tips and Notes

This recipe makes enough cinnamon syrup for 10 batches (20 servings) of tea, or you can use it to drizzle on fruit or peanut butter toast.

Serving Suggestion

This spiced drink can be cooled and transferred to a jar to chill for iced tea.
