A warm and aromatic tea infused with spices and a hint of citrus, perfect for cozy moments.
Combine the water, anise seed, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Boiling the spices helps release their flavors into the water.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about three minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
Strain the liquid into a serving container to remove the spices.
Use a fine-mesh strainer to ensure a clear tea.
Add the honey and the juice of the lemon to the strained liquid, stirring well.
Adjust the sweetness and citrus level to your preference.
Pour the tea into serving cups and add a tea bag to each. Let steep for three minutes or until desired strength.
Cover the cups while steeping to retain heat and enhance the infusion.
Serve the tea hot and enjoy.
Garnish with a slice of lemon or a cinnamon stick for a decorative touch.
