A delightful and warming spiced tea perfect for the holiday season.
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
Use filtered water for a cleaner taste.
Add the tea bags, cinnamon sticks, and cloves to the boiling water. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
Adjust the steeping time based on your preferred tea strength.
Remove the tea bags and strain the liquid to remove the spices.
Press the tea bags gently to extract more flavor before discarding.
Stir in the honey, cranberry juice, and red wine. Heat gently until warmed through, but do not boil.
Keep the heat low to preserve the flavors of the wine.
Serve the tea in cups, garnished with slices of orange and apple.
Use a ladle to carefully pour the tea into cups without spilling.
