Saigon Iced Tea

By Sean Paajanen, About.com

An iced tea, spiced with cloves and allspice. Basically, another variation of an iced chai tea. Spicy doesn't have to mean hot. This recipe will still cool you down, but with some kick.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbs loose tea
  • 4 cups water
  • 12 whole cloves
  • 12 allspice berries
  • 1 2-inch cinnamon stick
  • Lemon wedges

Preparation:

Pour water into a saucepan and bring to a simmer with tea, cloves, allspice and cinnamon. Steep the mix for about 5 minutes. Strain out all the spices and tea leaves, and then put in the fridge to chill thoroughly. Serve this spiced ice tea with lemon wedges, over ice.
