This is good. I used frfeshly squeezed lemon. I would suggest a coffee filter to strain. I imagine this might be better cold as an ice tea. Made for Comfort Cafe - Snow Queens Round 01/10.

This could very well become my favourite spiced tea! What a great way to warm up after being out in the chilly outdoors this morning. I made this exactly as written and I wouldn't change a thing. As I wrapped my cold hands around the steaming mug and inhaled the spicy scent I thought "oooh this is going to be good." And so it was! Thank you Missis Spock.

Very tasty cup of tea! I usually like plain tea with nothing in it, but this was a nice little treat today. I made exactly as the recipe states and it came out perfect. The lemon gives it a nice zing, but the sugar balances the tartness of the lemon and spices. I think I'm going to make this again for my husband when he gets home. Wonderful drink thanks so much for posting! Made for Spring PAC 2009

This is delicious. I used Tetleys tea and skipped the clove (personal preference) and used a cinnamon stick and Splenda brown sugar in 1/2 the giver amount. The cinnamon and lemon (1/2 the amount ask for) made a perfect large cup of tea!. It's going into my "All Time Fav's" cookbook and I'll be enjoying this often through the winter. Yummm.
