23rd day of Sara’s Advent Calendar!
It’s Christmas Eve Eve, and this is a nice spiced tea that reminds me a bit of Hobee’s tea, a blend they serve in their restaurants and also offer in loose leaf. The cinnamon and clove waft off the cup and are the prominent flavors. I can also taste the rooibos and a subtle note of the orange peel. It tastes sweet too. I like it hot, and I’ll bet it would work great as an iced tea too.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Clove, Orange Zest, Rooibos, Sweet
Preparation
Comments
Ya, it always made me think of a sweeter, more natural-tasting version of Hobee’s tea as well. While I frequently ice Hobee’s tea, I actually prefer this one warm; for some reason I don’t like red rooibos iced. Something about it cold brings out certain medicinal notes I just don’t like. But I drink it as a warm evening herbal all the time!
