Winter Mulled Tea (alcohol free)

This was a hit among my guests who visited our place during the last holiday seasons.

In a medium pot, put 1 tsp dried hibiscus tea, a couple of dried rose hips (optional), a half of organic satsuma or tangerine (wash well, squeeze the juice into the pot and leave the peel in the pot too), peel of 1/2 medium apple, a piece of lemon peel, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick, a handful of dried berries or currants (raisins are ok too), a couple of sliced ginger, some mixed spice (the one you would use for fruit cakes, optional) and 3 dried cloves. (If you have prepred spice mix for mulled wine, all you need is some dried hibiscus and rose hips). Pour about 1.5 ltr boiling water and let it simmer on a very low heat for 15 min or so. Sweeten with honey if you prefer.

Serving suggestions;

Strain it and serve hot in a mug cup with a cinnamon stick.
Strain it and let it chill in the fridge, and serve in a wine glass. This looks like wine and is great to serve as a soft drink for a holiday dinner.

**Adjust the amount of hibiscus to your taste as it can be very tart.
