This is one of my favorite herbal teas to enjoy in any season but the flavors are reminiscent of fall. Not only is it very tasty, it is also quite medicinal. The spices in this tea promote good digestion and will even kill off the harmful bacteria that may be residing in our gut, while strengthening the good bacteria that work with our body to maintain a healthy balance. This is also a great one for colds and flu due to its antiviral, antibacterial properties.
The Recipe
4 parts red rooibos herbal tea (optional for added flavor)
3 parts cinnamon chips
2 parts orange peel
1 part dried ginger root
1 part whole cloves
Mix all ingredients together. Fill a pan with a quart of water, add 3-4 tablespoons of the tea blend, depending on how strong you like it - I make mine strong with about 1/4 cup of tea blend. Place the pan over medium heat, stirring herbs into the water. When the water starts to bubble turn down and let it simmer about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, strain the herbs out and add some raw honey to taste and little bit of raw cream. Mmmm, it is so good!

Where to purchase herbs
This is my version of the Creamy Pumpkin Pie Tea from Bulk Herb Store, so you can purchase it already mixed and ready to go from them. Or if trying your hand at mixing it yourself, make sure the ingredients you use are organic, I purchase my herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs.
