Herb Tea

I started out by using all my mint and basil herbs from my summer garden. When I ran out of herbs, I tried tea bags and store bought herbs. I also had frozen fruits from summer and this was a great way to use them up, as well as give added vitamins to the tea.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 tea bags
• 2 Tbsp. cinnamon
• 4 cloves
• sweet-n-low or sugar, to taste
• frozen fruit (optional)

Directions:

Boil water. Steep tea and herbs together for about 30 minutes. Pour into gallon jug. Add additional water to fill jug full. Add sugar or sugar substitute to taste. I put in about 10 packages of sweet-n-low per gallon. Mix well, then for final zest, I use up my leftover frozen blueberries, watermelon, or grapes to add extra vitamins. Makes for great tea blend.
