15 sticks cinnamon
1 teabag, Black Tea

1 teabag, Black Tea
*Milk and Honey to taste (*optional)
- Bring water to boil.
- Add all spices except black tea bag. Boil 30 -45 min. Longer is stronger.
- Finally, add black tea bag and boil another 5 min. **The black tea is added last because it amalgamates the spices and sort of seals them. Also the tannins help assimilate the spices into the body.
- If adding milk & honey, do so after adding the tea bag and letting it steep– OR BETTER add milk and honey to individual cup or a small batch. That way you can store the raw tea in the fridge and prepare with milk and honey as you go.
- If you go cup by cup, you can leave the raw tea on the stove on the lowest flame to enjoy all day.
You can use the spices for 2-3 batches.
