A warm and fragrant Orange Cinnamon Milk Tea that combines the bright zest of orange peel with the comforting spice of cinnamon, enhanced by black tea, brown sugar, and creamy milk. Perfect for a cozy treat or an iced refreshing beverage.

Ingredients

Infusion Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • orange peel of 1/2 orange (save some for garnish)
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Tea and Flavoring

  • 1 black tea bag (or 1 tsp loose-leaf black tea)
  • 2 tsp brown sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Milk

  • 1 cup whole milk (or your preferred milk)

Garnish

  • orange peel twist or orange slice for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make orange cinnamon infusion: Heat 1 cup of water to a low boil in a small saucepan. Add the orange peel and cinnamon stick and simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  2. Brew the black tea: Strain the orange cinnamon infusion into a cup and add a black tea bag. Steep for 5 minutes to extract a robust tea flavor.
  3. Sweeten and flavor: Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract while the tea is still hot, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth sweetness.
  4. Add milk: Heat the milk gently until warm but not boiling. Pour the hot milk into the tea mixture. For a creamier texture, you can froth the milk before adding it.
  5. Garnish and serve: Add a twist of orange peel or a slice of orange for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy the fragrant Orange Cinnamon Milk Tea.

Notes

  • Use your preferred milk such as almond, oat, or soy for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust brown sugar according to sweetness preference or substitute with honey or maple syrup.
  • For iced tea, brew and sweeten the tea, add cold milk, cool down, then pour over ice.
  • Frothing the milk adds a lovely texture but is optional.
  • You can replace the black tea with green tea or chai for different flavor profiles.
