Homemade Spice Tea

Very mild, great before bed. I love sipping this tea on a cold winter morning too. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

•  water
• 2  whole cloves
• 2  pinches anise seeds
• 3  pieces crystallized ginger
• 5  pinches cinnamon (or 1 cinnamon stick- easier to strain)
•  honey or  sugar or  artificial sweetener, etc

Directions

1. Heat water in coffee cup for about 2 min, or until nearly boiling.
2. Add spices to water and let sit for 2-8 min, depending on how flavorful you want it.
3. Strain mixture (this is easier if a cinnamon stick was used).
4. Sweeten (if desired); I like blueberry honey and/or a mixture of 1 teaspoon maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon light cream.
5. Try making a mixture of 4 teaspoons pine nuts, 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon light cream to serve with tea. This side dish tastes best served cool.
