Method
- Peel the orange, remove the pith, then finely slice the peel into thin matchsticks. Put in a small bowl with the Earl Grey, cloves and cinnamon.
- Use a pestle and mortar to gently crush the nutmeg and sugar to break down and combine. Add to the bowl with the tea, mix well, then transfer to jars. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Put 1 tsp of the tea in a tea strainer. Pour over 300ml hot water and infuse for 2 mins. Enjoy with a splash of milk or a slice of lemon.
