WITCHES BREW TEA
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
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!
