Famous Hot Tea Recipe

This is the coolest recipe for hot tea! No sweetener is added, yet the liquid is ‘golden’ when you swallow!

What you’ll need:

1. reusable loose-tea sachets (or a loose tea holder)

2. 3 tsp. dried peppermint leaves

3. 2 tsp. dried sweet basil leaves

4. 1 tbsp. licorice root (preferably not in stick form—fyi, doesn’t taste like licorice!)

Put ingredients in sachet and place in cup; pour hot hot water over and allow to sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Take out sachet and DRINK UP!

* For these ingredients, we first recommend Rosewood Market, but you should be able to find them at a nice grocer like Earthfare (located on Devine Street).
