- Preparation: 5 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (328 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
Ingredients
- 200 g Herbal tea, brewed
- 0.5 g Cinnamon
- 0.3 g Cloves
- 0.3 g Allspice
- 2 g Lemon zest
- 25 g Sugar, brown
- 100 g Water
Method
- Mauby is traditionally brewed from mauby tree bark; here, simmer the brewed herbal tea with the cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and citrus zest (standing in for the bark's bittersweet flavor) for 10 minutes.
- Strain out the spices and zest, pressing to extract all the liquid.
- Stir in the brown sugar while the liquid is still warm, until fully dissolved.
- Stir in the water to dilute to taste, then chill well before serving over ice; mauby is meant to be sharply bittersweet, so adjust the sugar to taste.
