Tea: You can use your favorite variety of tea; in this recipe, I used green tea, as it is rich in antioxidants, has many positive health effects, and boosts immunity. Green tea gives the drink a light flavor and tonic properties, making it refreshing and invigorating.

🥃Raspberry syrup has a sweet taste and fruity aroma, which adds a pleasant sweetness and berry flavor to the tea, making it more aromatic.

🍊Orange adds a fresh aroma and refreshing citrus taste to the tea, making it brighter and more delicious.

Cloves add a warm aroma and a light spicy note to the tea, making it more interesting. This spice is known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

🍯Honey– many of my loved ones enjoy sweet tea, and to make the tea not only sweet but also healthy, I prefer to add honey for them. After all, honey is a natural sweetener that adds sweetness to the tea, enhancing its flavor profile and complementing other ingredients. Moreover, honey has various health benefits, including antimicrobial properties

How to make tea with orange and cloves?

First, brew some tea and let it steep for a while. To brew tea properly, you need to bring water to a boil and then pour it over the tea leaves or tea bag. Let steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your preference for tea strength.

Then pour the tea into the cups or mugs you prefer. Add raspberry syrup, adjusting sweetness to your taste preference. I usually find one tablespoon per cup to be sufficient.

Now add honey. AAs I mentioned earlier, this step is not mandatory, but if you want to make the tea healthier, opt for a natural sweetener. However, remember that in this case the tea should not be too hot to preserve the beneficial properties of honey. Mix everything well.

Take an orange slice and insert a few cloves into it. The amount of cloves can be adjusted depending on how aromatic you want the tea to be. Add a slice of orange to a cup of tea and enjoy the aromatic drink.
