The scent of cinnamon, star anise, cardamom and cloves? That can only mean one thing, Christmas! To mark the occasion, Les 2 Marmottes are bringing you a world exclusive, our incredible spiced Christmas Tea DIY recipe.
-
The tree is decorated, the first presents are wrapped, the Christmas menu is put together and the festive events are almost over... it's finally time for a breather! Make yourself a nice cup of tea or your favourite mulled wine, relax on the sofa and enjoy.
A little bird tells us you've earned it!
Spices everywhere! (or spices are everything!)
It's the same old story every year: as Christmas approaches, you fancy adding a little spice to your life! It's impossible to imagine the festive season without the delicious scent of cardamom, the spiciness of clove or the subtlety of cinnamon.
Far from being just a "tradition", the appeal of spices tells us a lot about our need to stimulate our senses and do ourselves good! The first Christmas carols have reached your ears. Shimmering garlands have passed through your hands. You've seen the starry-eyed looks of children. And smelt the comforting, powerful aroma of delicate spices on the air. That's the magic of Christmas! In the blink of an eye, in a sip or a sniff: everything else if forgotten...
Except for Les 2 Marmottes blends!
Les 2 Marmottes Christmas tea blend
To create a delicious Christmas tea, you'll need:
- 1 bag of organic black Wake Up tea.
- 1 organic orange
- 1 organic lemon
- A cinnamon stick (or cinnamon powder)
- One star anise (or star anise powder)
- A few cardamom seeds (or cardamom powder)
Don't worry, it's very simple: using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the orange and lemon.
Preheat your oven to 100°C.
Cut the zest into small pieces and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for exactly 1 hour!
Meanwhile, crush the cinnamon, cardamom and star anise with a pestle and mortar. Place the crushed spices in a bowl, add the contents of a Wake Up organic black tea bag and the dried zest.
That's it, your homemade Christmas tea is ready!
Of course, if you're a fan of cloves, ginger or nutmeg, there's nothing to stop you customising the recipe (we won't hold it against you).
