Description
A warming beverage infused with aromatic spices and citrus.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pieces cinnamon sticks (whole)
- 3 stars star anise (whole)
- 2 slices dried citrus slices (orange or lemon)
- 4 cups water (preferably filtered)
Instructions
- Place the cinnamon sticks, star anise, and dried citrus slices into a large pot. Add the water to cover the ingredients.
- Turn the stove to low heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. You should hear a soft bubbling sound with fragrant steam rising.
- Let the mixture simmer slowly for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the spices and citrus to gently release their aromas into the water.
- Occasionally, gently stir the mixture with a ladle to help release more scent and prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
- Check the aroma; it should be rich and fragrant, with hints of spice and citrus filling the air.
- Once the desired aroma has developed, grab your mug or bowl and carefully ladle the warm, spiced liquid into it.
- Enjoy this fragrant, warming beverage straight from the mug, letting the aroma envelop you as you relax.
