I made this for a family gathering and it was a hit. (Actually, most of the recipes I make for family is from this site. Haven’t had a bad recipe yet. ?) Anyway, I modified the recipe a bit, mostly putting in less ginger, less rooibos tea, and less water. I did not include alcohol or the cayenne either. This was so tasty and would definitely make this again, especially on rainy, cold nights.
Thank you for sharing your gift, Dana. MB is always my go-to site for creative and accessible recipes.
Perfect drink for a cold fall evening. The drink starts out with a nice sweetness and ends with a little tinge of spice from the cinnamon and ginger. Will definitely be making a double batch the second time around!
These are amazing, definitely a keeper. Just right for these colder than usual Oregon days.
This is very similar to a drink my mom always made at the holidays - but hers used cranberry juice instead of the rooibos tea. Good, but very sweet. I made the first batch exactly as written. It was really good, very spicy with the ginger and black pepper, but still a bit too sweet for our taste buds. Made a second batch yesterday with the following revisions: 3 cups of water, ½ cup apple juice, 3 ‘hot apple cider’ tea bags, 3 rooibos tea bags, added 2 whole cloves and 1 tsp. raw honey to each giant mug. Oh, and of course we included the booze! Just what we were looking for! Same spicy, warm goodness, but not as sweet. This is our new favorite warm drink for winter! We just got our first snow of the year last night, so you know I’ll be making a batch (or 2) tonight! Thanks for another awesome recipe!!
Sorry, it was all gone before I could get a picture. Made two more batches yesterday, the same thing: Vanished! :)
Now I am waiting for it get really cold outside so I can tramp around in the snow and find out exactly how warming this can be.
Marvelous. Thanks.
This was great!
Tried it last night minus the alcohol it was so tasty and wonderful :) Can't wait to make it for all my family!
