Bergamot is a natural for herbal tea and tea blends. It combines well with mint, other lemon herbs, and sweet spices such as those in this delicious blend. The spices are crushed but not ground – use a small, heavy (cast iron is ideal) mortar and pestle to pound the spices to about the size of short grains of rice. Herb teas should be enjoyed immediately after brewing because this is when the volatile oils from the herbs, as well as the taste and medicinal properties, are at their strongest. (Makes 2-3/4 cups tea blend)
1) In a bowl, combine bergamot, lemon balm, mint, sweet cicely, citrus peel, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon. Toss to mix well.
2) Transfer to an airtight container, label, and store in a cool, dry, dark place.
3) Just before making tea, crush a small amount of the blend and use 1 tablespoon to make one cup of tea.
