Tea
Spiced Tea with Pimm's
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
Spiced Ginger Tea
A lovely change of pace from café au lait, cappuccino, or hot chocolate, and lower in fat and calories, too.
Spiced Rum and Tea Punch
This German drink, called Grossmutters Punsch (Grandmother's Punch), is usually enjoyed warm at midnight on Christmas Eve. It can also be served as a refreshing chilled drink. For a festive touch, add a cinnamon stick to each glass.
Iced Lemongrass Tea
Nahm Takrai
This lightly sweetened drink, served with both lunch and dinner in Thailand, is very cooling with spicy foods.
Tea Bread with Vine Fruit and Pine Nuts
This bread gets even better if stored for a day. Enjoy it toasted and buttered for breakfast.
Oranges and Prunes in Cardamom Tea Syrup
This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional sitting time.
