Yield Makes 1 cup tea blend

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup Chinese green tea leaves
1/4 cup whole green cardamom pods
1/4 cup whole cloves
3 or 4 three-inch cinnamon sticks, coarsely chopped with a heavy-duty knife

Steps:

  • In a quart-sized plastic bag, place the tea, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Blow into the bag as if blowing up a balloon. Once inflated, hold the bag shut and shake until the herbs are combined. Store in an opaque glass or ceramic jar with a tight-fitting lid or cork. Give the jar a good shake to distribute the ingredients before removing any. For peak fragrance, using within six months.
