FALL SEASON TEA RECIPES: Orange Spice Vanilla Tea
Let’s Make Orange Spice Vanilla Tea using Cinnamon as a natural sweetener. I don’t use honey, sugar, or sweeteners because they make me feel sick and bloated so I’ve been experimenting with tea for YEARS trying to find another alternative. I mix my teas this way to offset the bitter taste of tea, which has paid off because these experiments teas are delicious! I’ve been trying to get a good vanilla tea just right for a long time so I’m excited about this one! I originally used French Vanilla black tea but it was too bitter and I think I’ve just concluded that I don’t like black tea because it makes me feel sick lol.
-4 bags Orange Spice Tea
-2 bag Cinnamon Apple Spice
-2 bags Vanilla Tea

You know that feeling when you're craving something comforting but everything seems to upset your stomach? That's been my struggle for years, especially with traditional sweeteners in tea. I used to think I just couldn't enjoy a truly satisfying cup, but after countless experiments, I've finally found my perfect solution: this Orange Spice Vanilla Tea blend, naturally sweetened with cinnamon! One of the biggest game-changers for me was ditching honey and sugar. While delicious for many, they often left me feeling bloated and unwell. So, what's the secret? Cinnamon! Not only does it add a wonderfully warm, inviting flavor that screams 'fall season,' but it also brings a subtle, natural sweetness that beautifully balances the tea without any added sugar. I find it incredible how just a broken Fiesta Cinnamon Stick can transform the entire drink, infusing it with that cozy, fireside vanilla spice vibe we all love. It's a fantastic alternative if you're looking to reduce your sugar intake or just want a cleaner, more natural taste. When it comes to picking your teas for this recipe, quality makes a difference. I've found that blending different tea bags really helps achieve a complex, well-rounded flavor. For the base, using Orange Spice Tea bags provides that vibrant citrus note, while Vanilla Tea bags bring in a creamy, aromatic depth. Don't underestimate the power of Cinnamon Apple Spice bags either – they layer in that extra fruity spice that makes this tea truly special. My original quest was for a good vanilla tea, and sometimes it's about trying different brands or blends to find what truly resonates with your palate. If you're like me and find some black teas a bit too bitter or upsetting, focusing on the quality of your spice and vanilla components can really make a difference. Beyond just the taste, there are wonderful benefits to enjoying a spiced tea like this. Spices like cinnamon are known for their warming properties and can even aid digestion, which is a huge plus for someone like me who struggles with bloating. It's such a comforting ritual, especially on a chilly evening. Think of it as your own homemade 'best orange spice tea' concoction, tailored perfectly to your preferences. And if you're curious about exploring more, many brands offer herbal orange spice tea options if you want to completely avoid any caffeine. The beauty of making your own blend is that you're in control of every single ingredient, ensuring it meets your needs and taste. So, whether you're looking for a healthier alternative to sugary drinks, or just want to snuggle up with a delicious, aromatic brew, give this Orange Spice Vanilla Tea a try.
