Recipe Notes
A star anise or two is a great addition to the spices. You can substitute any berry or fruit blend tea here as most of these teas already use hibiscus as a base. You can also use a berry blend black tea. 1 cinnamon stick is equivalent to 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 3 whole cloves are equal to 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, swapping out ground for whole works. Just have to strain it through a fine sieve to remove as much as possible before consuming.
