Orange and Cinnamon TeaOrange and Cinnamon Tea
5. May, 2009
I love the scent of oranges and cinnamon. There is something very soothing about that lovely combination of sweet and spicy. When I am stressed because of work, or very tired, I often make this tea when I get home because I find it very calming and it helps me rewind. This is also one of my favourite winter teas.

- 1 teaspoon orange juice
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar or acacia honey
Preparation
- Place the 500 millilitres water in a small saucepan.

- Decorate with a slice of orange if you like.

- You can add a small piece of ginger for an even more refreshing taste.
