Moroccan Spiced Orange Blossom Tea

Steam carries the scent first: bright orange zest, warm cinnamon, and that deep, inky edge of black tea as it settles into the pot. Moroccan Spiced Orange Blossom Tea leans fragrant without being fussy, with a rich body that feels right when the air cools and the campsite gets quiet.

Brew it on a camp stove or over low coals and let the tea steep strong so the spice doesn’t wash out. Add the orange blossom water off the heat—just a small splash—so the floral note stays crisp instead of turning flat. Sweeten to taste, whether you want it barely sugared for a brisk finish or a little rounder for something closer to a treat.

It’s an easy one-pot drink to make for a couple of mugs or a whole crew, and it holds up well in a thermos for late-night card games or an early-morning warmup. Pour, breathe it in, and let the citrus-and-spice cut through the cold.
