For your Winter Hearth:
Have you ever wondered why we crave exotic spices such as ginger and cinnamon when the weather turns cold? The foods of winter, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, ginger bread all rely heavily on these familiar spices.
And no wonder, there's nothing better for warming up cold winter bones than ginger. Have you ever chewed on a piece of raw ginger and felt it's heat? Cinnamon has similar warming qualities as ginger without the bite.
The following is a recipe which features one of our teas, to warm your family and friends in the winter cold. Our Flower Garden Dream is a colorful blend of hibiscus, rosehips, flower petals, orange and cinnamon. Visit our Webstore for a special discount on our Flower Garden Dream Herbal Tissane.
