SPICED TEA

January 11th is Secret Pal Day and a great opportunity to bless someone. If you don’t have a secret pal, consider gathering a group of friends and drawing names in order to bless each other with small “pick-me-up” gifts throughout the year.

Since January is International Hot Tea Month, here is a spiced tea blend you can prepare and package to give as a gift with a mug or special teacup and saucer.

Combine all ingredients and stir to blend well. Package. Store for 6-12 months.

To Brew: Use 1 tsp per cup or 1 heaping Tablespoon per 4-6c pot, add boiling water and steep 5 minutes.

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
I Peter 4:10
