On those cold evenings when you just need something warm to fortify you…
Spiced Herbal Cocktail
- 4 c water
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tea bags (I prefer Lemon and Echinacea)
- 2 small cinnamon sticks
- 1/3 c dark brown sugar
- 1/4 c passion fruit syrup
- 2 oz dark rum
- rosemary and lemon for garnish
1. Bring water, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, and tea bags to a boil.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Wisk in brown sugar, passion fruit syrup, and rum.
4. Let steep for 5 minutes.
5. Discard tea bags and serve warm with a garnish of a sprig of rosemary and a slice of lemon.
A nice adult beverage to help stay warm through the cold winter nights! And, of course, if you prefer, you may leave out the rum. Enjoy.
