What a yummy treat! I had a dental cleaning right after work. I walked in the door and decided that I needed some sort of treat and this was perfect. It's cold out, and I'm curled up on the couch sipping this flavorful tea. I cut the recipe into 1/3 and used almond milk instead of the half and half milk and opted not to add the sugar. It's still quite a treat! Thank you!

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
