Wintertime hot tea drinks from Partners Tea Company

Happy Halloween to everyone! October was Fair Trade month and I celebrated by concocting a new batch of Winter time tea cocktails made from Partners Tea Company's Fair Trade and Organic teas-- From a Ceylon Hot Toddy to a Goodnight Kiss night cap.
My favorite is the Nutcracker, the Amaretto blends perfectly with the bold, maltyness of the Pure Assam Black tea.

A great holiday or hostess gift can be made from putting the following recipes with tins of Partners Tea Company teas!

Enjoy!
