Instructions

Instructions and steps: 

Step 1 Prepare a clean and dry, see-through jar.

Step 2 Break cinnamon stick in small pieces then place in jar with the rest of the ingredients. Close the lid tightly and shake until mixed well.

Step 3 Wait at least 24 hours for tea to absorb the aroma of the spices.

HFG Tip

  • If the jar you use has been cleaned but still smells strongly of what was in it before (eg. pickles), to get rid of the smell, pour in 1/2 cup baking soda and close the lid. Wait 24 hours then throw away baking soda, rewash the jar and dry it well before using.
  • This tea will keep well for up to 6 months.
