Warming Four Spice Tea

February 18, 2010 by Marian Buck-Murray Leave a Comment

SpicesWe’ve had a load of snow here in New Jersey during the past few weeks.  It is beautiful, and for once the snow is sticking around for a while.  It’s the kind of weather that begs for a cozy fire, a fuzzy warm blanket, and a hot cup of tea.

I grew up in a fairly chilly house. My mother went eco-green before it was fashionable, and kept the heat down to conserve energy and save money.  Now I find I prefer a somewhat chilly house, and I keep the heat low.   My husband and daughters, of course, like it warmer than I do.   But when I’m alone I sometimes get a little overzealous and I let the heat drop to below 60.

When I need warmth, I love to make a big pot of Four Spice Tea – with Ginger, Clove, Cinnamon Stick and Star Anise.  It’s so easy to make, and you can find the ingredients in the spice aisle at most grocery stores.  I purchase my spices online from Mountain Rose Herbs.  They have a wonderful selection of reasonably-price organic products.

Here’s my recipe.  It’s delicious.  It’s warming.  It stimulates circulation and digestion, and it’s great for a cough or cold.  And, it smells wonderful!

Four Spice Tea

2-3 cinnamon sticks
4-5 pieces star anise
2 inches gingerroot, peeled and  sliced
4-5 cloves
4 – 6 cups water
Honey or maple syrup to taste.

Combine ingredients in large pot.  Bring to boil

Simmer for 20-30 minutes, adding water as necessary.

Strain into another pan or teapot.

Serve hot, sweetening with a little honey or maple syrup.

Enjoy!
