Spice TeaMy mom liked to make this Spice Tea recipe. She made it since I was a small child. She would have it for us to drink, serve to guests, and make as Christmas gifts. My mom would make a batch and spoon it into jars, tie with a ribbon and give to friends. She would also bake up some wonderful banana bread or pumpkin bread, put both in a basket and give to friends and neighbors for Christmas. I hope that you enjoy this recipe.
