A Taste of Autumn Tea

Posted on: by Sandra Orchard

Kate Adams—the I-have-a-tea-for-whatever-ails-you sleuth of my Port Aster Secrets series—shares this tea to get us into the autumn spirit. 😉

steaming cup of tea

To your favorite pot of black or rooibos tea, add:

-a finely chopped slice of dried apple

-a pinch of ground vanilla bean

-¼-½ tsp of pumpkin spice to taste (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove, allspice)

Then add boiled water and steep for 2-3 mins, sweeten with honey, and enjoy.

The aroma alone will set you dreaming of pumpkin pies and holiday meals.

Your Turn: What hot drink do you enjoy most in the autumn season?

  • Sorry to admit that coffee is my drink of choice. And only in the morning. If I drink anything in the afternoon, though, it would be tea…probably Lady Grey with maybe spearmint in it. and orange

    • Interesting, in Canada, we call it Earl Grey. I’m assuming that’s the same kind of tea. I’ve never tried it with spearmint…something new to experiment with!
