Cinnamon Anise Tea

"Tea is very popular in the Middle East. This is one that I've been making for a long time and not only does it taste great it has a mild soothing quality. It's certainly nothing medicinal but a few peaceful mins is a day can't be a bad thing. The cooking time is for steeping."

  1. Love it! Great if you're sick...honey, lemon, cinnamon...what more could you want? I used loose leaf darjeeling. I added some vanilla sugar instead of plain & that was extra tasty! Made for NA/ME Tag 6/13, :)
     
  2. I reserved a book from the library and I am currently going through a sinus infection and I have the worst cough and in the book, it stated that anise seeds help with coughing, colds and the flu so I looked up recipes for tea with anise seed and that's where your recipe came up! First time making tea :) it tastes so good hopefully it will help soothe my throat and maybe help my sinuses. I used a mix then I added the honey and lemon and yummy.
     
  3. Very soothing. I made as written, but would leave out the sugar (the honey would be sweet enough for me) and cut the lemon juice in half, or omit, next time, to let the licorice flavor shine more.
     
  4. This recipe caught my attention cuz I am a tea lover. Anywho, this is delightful! <br/>I used 3 star anise in place of seeds and of course the honey. Sitting here sipping my tea :D cuz I already had the allotted daily coffee. You don't need to be under the weather to enjoy this! Thanks for posting Annacia!
