This is a more conventional tea, it's simply for flavor during the holiday season and to balance karma. You can decide to make all of the ingredients from scratch in a teapot (or another kind of pot for yule ritual) or you could add the other herbs into an instant-tea from a tea bag, all plain black tea. ***The last post I made for a tea recipe was a green tea, from scratch titled: HERBAL TEA***
Yule/Midwinter Tea
4 parts cinnamon
4 parts allspice
2 parts nutmeg
2 parts lemon peel
2 parts clove
1 part bay
2 parts chamomile
50 parts black tea

Yeah, this one has the option of simply putting in the extra spices and herbs after using a plain pre-made bag of black tea, you should be able to buy these at a typical grocery store. I figured I'd make this one more managable since it's for the holidays and everyone should be able to have it!!! It's a very happy and uplifting tea...

Yeah, I love tea. I know especially here in America, most people drink coffee, but I think I'm allergic to it or something. It makes my eyes water. Tea is still a stimulant for me without as much caffeine.

Tea is still a stimulant for me without as much caffeine. I don't like coffee that's been tampered with. I drink it straight up and black when I need a real boost, which tends to happen for school. Other than that, I tend to use teas and herbs for evreything. I avoid over-the-counter medacine unless it's doctor prescribed, I generally replace ibuprofen/advil/asprin/painkillers with herbs unless I absolutely MUST because it's fatal. I just trust Earth more than strange freaky-named medicines that I can barely pronounce (which is sad, because I'm really good with languages).

Yeah me too. When my doctor said I was lacking in some vitamin or whatever, my mom tried to but me supplements. I freaked and refused, and I am getting along just fine just by changing my diet. My dad too, is Christian Science, and they don't believe in going to doctors. I don't believe in their God's healing grace through prayer or whatever, but as a result, my whole family doesn't get vaccines or anything. I've never gotten the flu, either.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery... heart I love that!!! But, Snowy, somehow I prefer coffee to tea. I think it's the caffiene. ...Today is a gift. That's why they call it the present.
