How to Make Homemade Spice Tea
- Heat 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until nearly boiling. Do not boil.
- Add spices to the hot water (see ingredient list for suggested amounts).
- Let the mixture steep for 2-8 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Longer steeping time results in a more intense flavor.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer into your mug.
- Sweeten to taste. Suggestions include: 1 tablespoon blueberry honey or a mixture of 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup and ½ teaspoon light cream.
- (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.
- (Optional) Serve the pine nut cream chilled alongside your warm spice tea.
