 WITCHES BREW TEA
After a night of handing out treats, I like
to sit down with a nice, hot cup of my special tea! It's easy to make and very relaxing,
nice and spicy. Makes me think of autumn, chilly nights and spicy smells!
It really warms me up and fills me with good feelings of Autumns past!
You can also add this syrup to other things like soda, coffee, whatever
you want to try.

INGREDIENTS
FOR SPICE SYRUP
2 food grade cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
3 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar |
|
DIRECTIONS
In a small saucepan bring syrup ingredients to a boil, stirring until sugar is
dissolved, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Cool syrup and strain into a
container for storage. Syrup may be made 1 week ahead and
chilled, covered. I keep mine in a glass bottle, capped tightly in the refrigerator. |

Brew up your favorite tea and add a few drops to your cup of tea to
taste. You can use a cinnamon stick for a nice garnish, make sure it's
food grade cinnamon sticks and not decorative. Craft stores sell
decorative cinnamon sticks for crafts and these have been treated with
oil to keep the scent longer. They are not edible!! |
