Cinnamon & Ouzo Iced Tea

Recipe #139459 | 5 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 2 -4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: bluemoon downunder

Another simple but scrumptious recipe from the October 2005 issue of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine article featuring recipes using ouzo. This is a prepare ahead recipe: 5 minutes preparation, no cooking, then 2 hours chilling. The chilling time is not included in the preparation and cooking times below. The other two recipes using ouzo that I've posted from this article - for the 2005 Zaar World Tour - are Chocolate Bullets and Ouzo-Poached Cherries With Waffles.

    Very different recipe. Very hard for me to find the cardamom pods but I did it. Did not use the ouzo as dh doesnt like it. Also added more sugar as he likes it sweet. Very interesting recipe!

    I liked this but it was different tasting than you expect. I subbed the ouzo for licorice extract, maybe that had something to do with it? It was good but the flavors were all very strong to me, but still tasted a lot like fall!!

    I needed a nice warm drink after the last couple of nights I had. This was what I needed. I also used Sambuca as that was what I had on hand. I have never had tea with a kick before but I loved it.

    Apple Chai Ice Tea! And I like my Chai with Licorice root so the Ouzo does it good! I crushed the cardamom to release more flavor. Thanks for posting!
