I've been making this for ages, no actual recipe (but I guess it is now), just something that I like a lot in the summer and make several times throughout the hot season. The pitcher that I currently use is 3 1/2 quarts and this is written in the amounts that I use for this container and spiced to my liking. For yourself, feel free to make any amount you wish, use any tea that you like best and lighten or increase the spice amounts to your own preference.

pure water (without clorine if possible)

How To Make cinnamon anise iced tea

1
Place cool water in a pot with a lid large enough to hold the water with good head space above the water level.

2
add the tea bags, cinnamon and anise to the pot.
3
Cover and bring it just to a boil. If you let it boil for more than a few seconds (no more than 5) it tends to become strong and acidic boiled longer.
4
Remove the covered pot (leave lid on) and let it cool to room temp. Remove the tea bags at this point or earlier for a less strong tea . The cinnamon and anise may be removed (don't toss out, they can be used several times!) or left in to continue adding flavor to the tea.
5
Add ice to a tall glass or glasses if your making more than 1 serving. Pour the tea and sweeten to your liking. Enjoy.
