Ever since going to the UK 6 years, I have had a soft spot in my
heart for hot teas. While black, oolong and green are all nice in their
own respects, I find herbal teas are my go-to. Maybe because they don't
need to be decaffeinated (caffeine sends my OCD into overdrive) before I
drink them. Maybe because they are so easy to customize blends.
Whatever the reason, I love them. One of my absolute FAVORITE blends is
this:
•3 whole cloves
•1-1" piece of cinnamon
•2 whole allspic
e berries
•1 small chunk of candied ginger
•2 whole rose hips
•6-8 hibiscus petals
Steep in hot water and add sugar and/or a splash of lemon juice, to
taste. It makes a deep red, highly-fragrant liquid that is gently
spiced, warming, and soothing.
Plus, it is chock-full of health benefits!
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
