To prepare, simply place one tea bag or the recommended amount of loose leaf tea into a mug or teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the tea and allow it to steep for the recommended time, typically 3-5 minutes, to achieve the desired strength and flavor. You can adjust the steeping time to your preference. This tea is delicious served plain, or you can enhance it with a splash of milk, a sweetener like sugar or honey, and perhaps a slice of orange or a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.
