Not having any tea that sounded good today, i decided to make my own. Of course, i don't consider most herbal concoctions to be "tea" so really the same rule should apply here. It's more of a berry spice punch, only punch would lead you to believe it's sweet.... Anyway. I filled a medium saucepan with cool water and a couple handfuls each of frozen plum slices and cranberries, then added a couple orange slices, small cinnamon stick, and two crushed cardamom pods. I brought it to a boil from very low heat, so it simmered on the stovetop for a long time. Which smelled pretty good, by the way.
The result is slightly tart & tangy, but i liked it. And Kaylen was so interested in my red mug that i poured her some (mixed with water) in her sippy cup. She was pleased with the flavor, too - or maybe just it was just being a big girl and having a drink like her mama.
