Mulled Tea Bags

Ingredients:

5 tsp. loose black tea
4 whole cloves
6 whole allspice berries
2 tsp. coarsely crushed cinnamon stick
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
fine-mesh cheesecloth
Cotton string
Cut two five inch squares out of the cheese cloth. Place 1/2 of your tea ingredients on one square, and the other 1/2 on the second one. Bring the corners together and tie into a bag with the string. Place the teabags into a mug, with these instructions:

To brew place one tea bag in a mug and 1 cup of boiling water. Steep 5 minutes and enjoy!

If you wish you can also include a small jar of honey, an antique spoon (easily found at a thrift store), 2 cinnamon sticks for stirring and a novel to enjoy reading while drinking.

Fill a jar with these....... and tie items to top of jar......

what a great idea, a china cup and saucer from a thrift store would go wonderfully with it. I use to fine them all the time at yard sales, Now i want them i can't find one to save me. What is new there.
