Love adding the cloves. Great idea.
My favorite tea for something with kick is what I call “HOT ZING TEA” (black tea with ginger and cranberry).
* 2 black tea bags
* 2 cups hot water
* 1/8 – 1/4 cup ginger. I like fresh and thin slices
* 1/2 cup cranberries
* 1/2 cup cranberry juice
* Pinch nutmeg
I steep tea, ginger, cranberries in water for 15 minutes. Then strain, add nutmeg and warmed cran juice.
I get tired of always serving coffee. I love the look and comments when I bring out my classic porcelain teapot and then guests are surprised at the zingy taste.

I’ve heard that Chia lattes have an “Orange Clove” flavor. I’ve also heard there is a popular Chia Tea. Do you know if this is available and can be brewed in a standard teapot?

Hi Surfer Patrol,
Chai Tea is very popluar. If fact Chai Lattes are made with Chai Tea. They definitely have a clove flavor and I suppose some people might describe it as orange-clove. There are a lot of different Chai Teas available and they are easily brewed in a standard teapot. Our store, teapotsnmore.com, carries a fabulous Vanilla Chai Tea that has a spicy creamy flavor. The directions for brewing Chai Tea are included below.
Directions for Use: Place 1 heaping teaspoon of tea for each cup into your teapot. Pour boiling water into teapot. Cover and let steep for 5-10 minutes. While the tea is brewing, put 2 tsp of sugar in your cups and add milk (about 20% of the cup’s volume). When the chai is ready, pour into cups and enjoy!
