December Sipdown Challenge Prompt – a tea with cinnamon, clove, or chai spices

This one has neither cinnamon nor (thank goodness) clove. I don’t mind a little clove but clove heavy does not appeal and I usually pick out all the clove I can find in a blend that it.

This is a chai that is based on the spices that would have been available and widely used in the Victorian era. It is slightly spicy, mostly just having that little kick of warmth like ginger gives, but it isn’t too spicy for me and is great without milk or sugar.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fifteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
