(Stops screen from sleeping)

1 Prepare a clean and dry, see-through jar.

2 Break cinnamon stick in small pieces then place in jar with the rest of the ingredients. Close the lid tightly and shake until mixed well.

3 Wait at least 24 hours for tea to absorb the aroma of the spices.

HFG tip

If the jar you use has been cleaned but still smells strongly of what was in it before (eg. pickles), to get rid of the smell, pour in 1/2 cup baking soda and close the lid. Wait 24 hours then throw away baking soda, rewash the jar and dry it well before using.
This tea will keep well for up to 6 months.
