Hot Ginger Tea with Cinnamon

2.5

(1)

Pleasantly pungent and sweetened to taste with honey, this tea soothes and refreshes after a big meal. (We also like to brew a pot any time we feel a little under the weather.) Nibbling on the pine nuts as you sip the hot tea helps soften its strong flavors.

Cook's note:

Tea can be made 8 hours ahead and chilled. Reheat before serving.
