The
Eighth Idea of Christmas My Blogger Gave to Me...
A
dessert or breakfast or anytime tea. Perfect this time of year to go with those
cookies & fancy desserts! Gets RAVE reviews!!
Holiday
Tea
1
teaspoon cinnamon bark (about 1 whole cinnamon stick)
1
teaspoon whole cloves
6
teabags or 5 heaping teaspoons loose tea (your choice)
Place
above in cheesecloth & tie with teabag string. Boil in 1 quart water for
5-10 minutes. (smells WONDERFUL!)
Add:
1/3
of 12-oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate
3
tablespoons lemon juice or 6T. Real Lemon
1-1/2
cups sugar (optional)
1
quart boiling water
Store
above syrup in refrigerator. ADD: equal parts water to serve.
There
are many healthful benefits to this tea too! The tea itself & OJ are full
of antioxidants and Vitamin C respectively. The cinnamon is now considered a
superfood; It helps regulate blood sugar. The cloves have one of the highest
antioxidant ratings of any spice – great for anti-aging. If you have
stomach/digestion problems, then throw some star anise into the mix. Delish!
