4 1/2 stars. This was good but I suggest using a cinnamon stick steeped in the water rather than ground as it leaves a lot of residue. Made for Comfort Cafe - Snow Queens, Round 01/10.

Hey Seasoned Cook, I am drinking my 2nd cup of this delicious hot tea, as I write my review here. Mmm, boy is this good! I did however, prepare mine using 12 ounces of water, which I cooked in a small saucepan ontop the stove, and bringing it just to a boil. After pouring the water into a very tall coffee mug, along with the tea bags, I also added one cinnamon stick, so I didn't have to add any ground cinnamon. I then covered my coffee mug w/a small plate, and steeped the tea for 5 minutes. After I stirred in the sugar, I cut an orange into quarters, then cut each quarter into 4 more quarters, and used my citrus press to juice each quarter into my coffee mug. I decided against adding the 2 orange slices. Since adding all that juice to my tea, I found it cooled down the tea a bit, so I removed my cinnamon stick, and reheated the tea in the microwave. I then put the cinnamon stick back in my mug, while drinking the tea. One thing I did do while making another cup of this tea, I found I could reuse my cinnamon stick again, when making another cup of tea. But one thing I did do differently when making my 2nd cup, I did add tad bit more sugar, 1 and a 1/2 teaspoons to be exact (using a measuring spoon, not a regular teaspoon). Thank you Seasoned Cook, for sharing this recipe, and for posting a photo of it as well. I look forward to making this wonderful tasting tea again in the near future!

I really liked this. I don't like strong tea, so I used only one tea bag for a short time. This is healthy and very tasty.
