- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 1 vanilla pod
- 2 star anise
- 2 cloves
- 2 black pepper corns
- Water
Instructions
- Cut the lemons to about 5mm/1/4 “ slices, you don’t want them any thinner than this or they will fall apart when cooking.
- Put the lemons in a small pan and just cover with water and bring to the boil, lower the temperature and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Drain the lemons and set aside.
- Make the spiced syrup by bringing 400ml/14 fl oz water and the sugar and spices to a boil for 10 minutes.
- Add the drained lemon slices to the syrup, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
- Scoop out the lemon and put it into sterilised jars adding the star anise for decoration and topping with the spiced syrup.
- Pop on the lids and store your Spiced Tea Lemons in the fridge for up to 3 weeks once opened.
Notes
Store in the fridge once opened and use within 3 weeks
Just add a slice of the spiced tea lemons and a little of the syrup to a cup of tea
