Holiday Spiced Tea

"I love this tea for the holidays because it's warm and spicy and clementines come in around this time of the year. After I've made my pot of tea, I leave the ginger, cloves and clementine peel in the kettle, add some more whole cloves, put in 2 more cups of water and let it simmer throughout the day to fill the house with a spicy aroma."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love baking. I started baking with my Grandma from the time I could productively use my hands, decided I loved it (and the ending results ^_^) and have been baking ever since. I love old German/Austrian and Scandinavian recipes. I absolutely love looking at the recipes here and baking them, there's such a vast variety of recipes to expand the amateur or professional baker's repertoire.
