Ingredients

Tea Base & Aromatics

4 cups Water
1 cinnamon stick Cinnamon Sticks Or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
8 sprigs Fresh Thyme Packed full of leaves
1 inch piece Fresh Ginger Thinly sliced, unpeeled
4 whole Cloves

Flavor & Sweetener (Optional)

1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed
1-2 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup To taste

Method

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon stick, fresh thyme sprigs, sliced ginger, and whole cloves.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe pitcher or directly into serving mugs to remove all the spices and herbs.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice (if using). Taste the tea and add honey or maple syrup incrementally until desired sweetness is achieved.
Serve the Immune Boosting Cinnamon Thyme Tea hot. Garnish each mug with an extra small sprig of thyme or a lemon wheel, if desired.

Notes

For a stronger flavor, you can lightly crush the ginger slices before adding them to the water. This tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
