This alcohol-free spin on the classic hot whiskey drink is similarly soothing, lightly sweetened, and pleasantly spiced. In place of whiskey, though, we use strong brewed tea. Use your favourite type of tea; we like orange pekoe, but you can also use an herbal (uncaffeinated) tea that you love.

Ingredients

Whole cloves

3 item(s)

Cinnamon sticks

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups water, cloves, cinnamon stick, and ginger; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the tea bags, remove the pan from the heat, and allow the mixture to steep for 5 minutes. Stir in the honey until it dissolves, then stir in the lemon juice. Using a slotted spoon, remove the ginger and cloves. Garnish with the cinnamon stick and lemon slice, if desired.
