Tasty cup of tea. I put less milk in than called for and subbed agave nectar for the honey. I will try this iced when the weather is warmer. Spices were perfect. Made for Best of 2012 game.Reply

A few black whole peppercorns were added. Served warm on a chilly, rainy day. Made for Best of 2012.Reply
