Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups strong brewed black tea cooled
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves ground or whole, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup adjust sweetness as desired
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Equipment

  • Kettle or pot for brewing
  • Fine strainer or sieve
  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Brew the black tea and let it cool completely, either at room temperature or in the fridge for faster cooling.
  2. Add the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and honey (or syrup) to the cooled tea and stir well until the spices and sweetener are fully dissolved, creating a fragrant, spiced tea base.
  3. Pour the spiced tea into the blender, then add the ice cubes to the mixture.
  4. Blend on high until the mixture thickens and reaches a smooth, icy consistency, about 30-45 seconds. The drink should be frosty and slushy, with visible ice crystals.
  5. Pour the frozen spiced tea slushie into chilled glasses, ensuring a generous amount of ice remains for a refreshing, cold texture.
  6. Serve immediately, allowing the icy texture to be enjoyed with every sip. Enjoy your cool, spiced summer treat!

Notes

For a milder spice flavor, reduce the amount of cloves or cinnamon. You can customize the sweetness by adjusting the honey or syrup amount. Adding a slice of lemon or fresh mint as garnish adds extra visual appeal.
