how to store Spiced Honey Tea

If you’ve made more than you can drink, no worries! Just let the tea cool down, then store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

variation (if any)

For a creamy version, consider adding a splash of milk or a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk. It adds a delightful richness! If you love the idea of a spiced latte, you can even blend your brewed tea with some steamed milk—delicious!
