Dinah Cardin's Spiced Tea Dinah is a staff writer at The Inquirer and Mirror. She said her grandmother had never written down the recipe for her spiced tea in all the years she has been making it. But for this Christmas, her mother finally succeeded in getting the secret behind this warm, spicy treat onto paper. I remember going downstairs for holiday parties, dressed in something velvety, the scent of the traditional tea filling the house. Make a pouch of spices in cheesecloth and add.
Tea has more flavor if made early enough to steep at least two hours.
