This drink cannot be called either iced tea or any other name. Anyone who cooks it according to my recipe and tries it will understand why I say so. It is impossible to compare the taste with something specific. In some ways, the drink is similar to Pepsi-Cola (only not carbonated), somewhere it resembles citrus compote, and notes of oriental cocktails are also felt.

You can drink the drink both cold, and warm, and hot. The most interesting thing is that as it cools, its taste changes.
Another tip for everyone who will cook: brew a lot at once, because the invigorating tea drink with cinnamon will be drunk very quickly.

Cooking steps:
1) Squeeze the juice from the lemon, cut the skin from it into small cubes. Boil water. Pour lemon juice and chopped lemon skins into boiling water.
2) Add sugar, stir.
3) Add a few cloves and a whole cinnamon stick to boiling water. Let the drink boil for about 4-5 minutes over medium heat.
4) After the fire, turn off and immediately throw tea leaves into boiling water. Don’t interfere.
5) Cover with a lid, top with a towel and let the drink stand for about 20-30 minutes.
6) After you need to strain the drink.
7) An invigorating tea drink with cinnamon is served both warm and chilled. As a decoration and addition to the taste, mint leaves are added. For the chilled version: a lot of ice is put in the glass and then the drink is poured. Before serving and bottling, it is advisable to cool the drink thoroughly in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

Water (3 liters), lemon (1 large), sugar (3 incomplete tablespoons), cloves (5-6 pieces), cinnamon (1 stick), tea leaves – not packaged (2 tablespoons with top), ice, mint – for decoration.
