Re: herbs and spices; OT

Everyone needs a good spiced tea recipe (NOT the one that includes Tang)! Winter is not winter for my daughters unless I make this.

Spiced Tea
Put 8c water in a 4qt pot
Put 2c water in a small saucepan
In the saucepan, boil water. Then turn off heat and steep 7 bags of black tea for a full 5 minutes
In the 4 qt pot, add 2 cinnamon sticks, 8 cloves and 1c sugar, and bring water to boil, dissolving sugar. Add 1c orange juice (not fresh squeezed) and the juice of 2 lemons.
When the liquid again approaches a boil, reduce heat to low and add the the steeped
tea.
Serve and enjoy. (For Russian tea, add some rum to each cup - and no, I don't know why rum
instead of vodka)
*To store for longer than a couple hours, remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks, or the taste
will become quite medicinal.

Hmm. I agree, but at that rate Tea is an herb and Coffee a spice...
