  • The lemon is a small evergreen tree native to Asia, but it is also grown in the Mediterranean as well as North America and Israel. The lemon is reported to be an energizing tonic, which wards off infection, relieve colds and the flu when used in moderation. It even has benefits for the skin. In Europe, the lemon is regarded as something of a cure all! Cinnamon on the other hand, is commonly used as a flavoring agent for foods and in this instance, tea. Being astringent and stimulative as well as a digestive aid; cinnamon is generally used as an adjunct to other remedies. Cinnamon has been reported as the spice that was responsible for the beginning of modern world trade. Initially it was the Dutch who coveted its special properties but with time the need for cinnamon spread to other countries in Europe. Combining lemon and cinnamon we have created a lively and melodic taste.

  • Brewing Hot

    Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Even though milk and a dash of sugar help enhance the flavor character on this tea, it is perfectly acceptable to consume this tea straight-up.

    Brewing Cold

    (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water]. Please note that this tea may tend to go cloudy or milky when poured over ice; a perfectly normal characteristic of some high quality black teas and nothing to worry about!
