Happy Tea

I am a coffee drinker. I don't like iced tea, and I really only drink tea when I am sick. The only kind I will drink is organic green tea because of it's many wonderful properties (see HERE for a list that I am fond of). Anyhoo, a friend of mine and I were talking, and she gave me a great recipe for tea using the green tea as a base. I love this recipe so much I am not having a mug of tea every day!

the best shot I could get of my ingredients before I dropped in the pouch and water

my delicious tea, ready to drink after 15 minutes (still needed an ice cube lol)

As always, I modified the tea a bit. I don't put the ingredients into the pot because 1. It's a pain in the but to clean it out of the pot and I only drink 1 cup at a time 2. I occasionally make my little one herbal tea so I like to just have the boiled water and let the tea steep in their mugs.
And as you may have caught on, I do not measure, so use your best judgement!

I like to add a packet of splenda to the tea, this is clearly optional. I just like a bit of sweetness that one of my ingredients doesn't fully give me.
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon (I grate my cinnamon from sticks, but you can use the already grated kind
1-2 tsp honey
1 clove
1 pouch organic green tea, your choice of brand.

Steep for 10-15 minutes. I pull the clove out before I drink it, sometimes the clove melts because my water is crazy hot. That isn't a big deal for me. This tea is amazing and each of the ingredients have so many healing properties, that I have done my best to link each ingredient to a website to tell you about it's healing properties.(I do NOT send you to spam sites) So, even if you are a coffee drinker, I really think you are going to love this tea!
