I brewed this with some Yorkshire Tea that I have, & it made for a very nice tasting spiced tea! It was made for some expected company, but with our day-long snow yesterday, most people stayed home! Still, we thoroughly enjoyed it's initial warmth & aroma! We had a small amount left over in the frig this morning, & I enjoyed it cold (almost made a smoothie out of it)! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
