How to Make Homemade Spice Tea

  1. Heat 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until nearly boiling. Do not boil.
  2. Add spices to the hot water (see ingredient list for suggested amounts).
  3. Let the mixture steep for 2-8 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Longer steeping time results in a more intense flavor.
  4. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer into your mug.
  5. Sweeten to taste. Suggestions include: 1 tablespoon blueberry honey or a mixture of 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup and ½ teaspoon light cream.
  6. (Optional) Prepare the pine nut cream: In a small bowl, combine 4 teaspoons pine nuts, 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon light cream. Mix well and chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.
  7. (Optional) Serve the pine nut cream chilled alongside your warm spice tea.
