This was a wonderful beverage, served both hot and iced. I made a double batch early and refrigerated it. I heated some and served it warm, which was delightful. Then I also poured some in glasses with ice, which was just as delicious. Tastes like a winter holiday! Thanks for sharing. -
Great for anytime of the year, not just at the holidays! I've been drinking tea almost every night and this was an easy way to add sizzle to normal tea-more citrusy and fruity than spicy though. In fact, this reminded me a little of Theraflu, the lemon tea for sore throats, which I love!
