  • “So sorry! Here are my stars! JellyI did a review and I guess it got lost somewhere! I thought this was excellent and have made it since! I use dried orange rind and lemon from King Arthur! I use it in my bread making too! I guess a little caffeine is good! ;)”

  • “Easy to make and great. I suggest to use tea of good quality. I used our favorite Assam tea, because I like the stronger taste of it and the lovely colour. The spices and the fruit rind add just the amount of flavour needed to make this a real comfort tea. Thanks for sharing this recipe.”
