Peel from half an orange
3-4 Spice Cloves
1 black tea bag
Sugar or stevia to taste (optional)
Process:
1. Bring water to boil in small pot.

Add clove stems and orange peels to water as well. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
3. Turn fire off. Add tea bag into pot. When tea is ready (dark orange color), pour through fine strainer into two mugs.

-Wash orange peels thoroughly under warm water before adding it to the pot.
