The winter season is here, and with it comes the chilly weather. Nothing beats a hot cup of tea on a cold day! But if you’re looking for something a bit different, why not try some of the delicious winter warmers made using tea that are popular in Britain? From mulled wine to spiced cider, here are some of the ways you can enjoy tea during the winter months.
Mulled Wine
Mulled wine is one of the most popular winter warmers. It’s made by heating red wine (or other types of wine) with spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and allspice. Tea can also be added to give it an extra boost of flavour. To make your own mulled wine at home, simply heat ¾ cup of red wine in a saucepan over low heat. Add one teaspoon of loose-leaf black tea and simmer for 10 minutes. Then add the spices and let it simmer for another 5 minutes before straining and serving hot.
Spiced Cider
Another classic winter warmer is spiced cider. This warming drink is made by heating apple cider with spices such as cinnamon sticks, cloves and nutmeg. Tea can also be added to give it an extra depth of flavour. To make your own spiced cider at home, simply heat ¼ cup of apple cider in a saucepan over low heat. Add one tea bag of black tea and simmer for 10 minutes before adding your desired spices and letting it steep for another 5 minutes before straining and serving hot.
Chai Latte
A chai latte is a rich, creamy drink that can help keep you cosy during those chilly winter days! It’s made by steeping black tea with spices like cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and clove in milk or water until it’s creamy and frothy. You can make your own chai latte at home by heating 1 cup of milk or water in a saucepan over low heat until just below boiling point (around 180°F). Add 2 tea bags of black tea along with your desired spices before straining into mugs or glasses and topping off with frothed milk or cream before serving hot or cold!
