Whichever method for water and ingredients chosen, next you will need to steep your ingredients in the hot water to taste. Be careful, hot tea is hot.
We used our own Mint grown here at Little Lakeview Conservatory, Oranges from the our fridge and Spices -Cinnamon, Anise, Whole Cardamom, Whole Cloves, Whole Nutmeg and Dried Orange Peels. Discover your favorite recipe and share with others for gifts or get togethers!

We used one of our all time favorite gifts, a Green Remi Glass Tea Mug with a stainless steel infuser by Teavana. It's been a cherished kitchen item here and would make a great gift for anyone, perhaps with some of your own homemade tea. Here are some amazon links for these and similar products:
Another gift idea for sharing your favorite Tea Mixture are Drawstring loose-leaf disposable Tea Bags. And whether for a gift or just for yourself, this Long Handled Heart Shaped Tea Infuser is adorable.
