A warm and fragrant Orange Cinnamon Milk Tea combining the zesty brightness of orange peel with the spicy warmth of cinnamon, balanced by rich black tea and smooth milk. Perfect as a comforting drink for any time of day, with an option to enjoy it iced.

Ingredients

Infusion Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • Orange peel of 1/2 orange (save some for garnish)
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Tea Ingredients

  • 1 black tea bag (or 1 tsp loose-leaf black tea)
  • 2 tsp brown sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Milk and Garnish

  • 1 cup whole milk (or your preferred milk)
  • Orange peel twist or orange slice for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make orange cinnamon infusion: Heat 1 cup of water to a low boil in a small saucepan. Add the orange peel and cinnamon stick and simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  2. Brew the black tea: Strain the orange cinnamon infusion into a cup and add a black tea bag. Steep for 3-5 minutes to extract the full taste of the black tea.
  3. Sweeten and flavor: Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract while the tea is still hot, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth, sweet flavor profile.
  4. Add milk: Gently heat the milk without boiling, then pour it into the tea mixture. Optionally, froth the milk before adding for a creamier texture.
  5. Garnish and serve: Add a twist of orange peel or a slice of orange for a decorative and aromatic garnish. Enjoy your warm, fragrant Orange Cinnamon Milk Tea!
  6. Optional iced version: Brew and sweeten the tea as above, add cold milk, cool to room temperature, then pour over ice cubes for a refreshing chilled drink.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your taste or substitute with honey or another sweetener.
  • Use whole milk for creaminess or any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • The orange peel should be pith-free to avoid bitterness.
  • Steeping time affects strength—longer brewing yields a stronger tea flavor.
  • Frothing the milk is optional but adds a café-style touch.
  • The iced version is perfect for warmer days as a refreshing alternative.
