I need some homemade tea recipes. Not ice tea, regular tea!?
My sister is going to college and she loves tea. Before she leaves I want to make her some homemade tea, from ingredients I'd find around my house. I need recipes ASAP! with no weird ingredients that I'd have to go half way around the world to get. Thanks!
Answers:
Don't mess around with recipes, get her a nice teapot, a tea strainer and a selection of fine loose leaf teas - assam for breakfast, green tea for mid morning, lapsang sou chong for cold winter afternoons and jasmine for late evening reflection.
what do you have around the house?? I don't have a clue.
Chocolate goes well with tea, not just coffee. You can brew up this recipe is a jiffy, using instant hot chocolate powder and bags of mint tea.
6 mint tea bags
6 cups milk
6 tbs hot chocolate mix
In a saucepan, heat milk with tea bags until almost boiling. Steep for a couple of minutes and strain out tea bags. Pour our 6 mugs of milk, then stir in a tablespoon of chocolate powder in each mug.

You might not have thought to brew a tea punch with rosemary, but the flavour of steeped rosemary compliments the pineapple juice. Add some sparkle with the ginger ale, and you have a punch fit for a party.
2 handfuls of dried rosemary
2 cups water
1 litre ginger ale
12 oz frozen pineapple juice
Heat water and rosemary until boiling, then simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool then strain out the rosemary. Combine with the pineapple juice. Add ginger ale right before serving.
