This tea is so comforting! It reminds me of drinking a warm mug of wassail! The spices are just right. I used Rooibos tea and only used half as much honey and lemon juice and it was perfect. I can't wait to have this again.

This is good and comforting but I agree it would probably be better with less fresh lemon and I love fresh lemon. I used a Traditional Medicinals Echinacea Plus tea bag and steeped with the spices for 10-15 minutes (The time it says to steep the tea bag from the company instructions) that way I tasted the spices too. I liked it with the creamed honey I used without fresh lemon juice and then I added the lemon juice. I might make this again with less lemon or none at all. Made for "I've saved all these recipes!"

This is a delightful and comforting tea! Loved the cinnamon and cloves with the honey. I thought the lemon was a little strong and would use less next time. Very soothing - thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for the Comfort Cafe Event, January 2010

This tea was a little tangy for me so I reduced the amount of lemon juice. After I used less lemon juice I could taste the spice. A very nice tea. Thanks Hey Jude for adding another tasty recipe to my tea collection.
