How to Make Soothing Tea When You Don’t Actually Have Tea Leaves
This super simple “tea” recipe is one of my childhood favorites — my mom would make it to warm us up after we’d come in from playing out in the snow. But it’s great to sip on while sitting by the fireplace when you’re home this holiday season, or to keep you warm and cozy in your dorm. This is also a nice alternative to traditional teas if that’s not really what you’re into.
