Tea of Cheer and Joy

Posted by Diana van Eyk on March 12th, 2011

I found this recipe on the Garden Guides website.  Interesting to note that three of the five ingredients of this tea grow here in the Kootenays.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried chamomile flowers
1/2 cup dried calendula petals
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
1/4 cup dried peppermint
1 tablespoon whole cloves

Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. To brew use 1 1/2 tsp. of tea with 1 cup (8 ounces) boiling water. Steep for 3-5 minutes. Strain and sweeten to taste.

Who can’t use a little cheer and joy these days?
