This is a more simplified version of a tea blend I created for gifts and serving to guests at home. The recipe below makes enough for a nice pot of tea to share with cherished friends. It holds up well to a little milk and honey, or a little wedge of fresh lemon is nice as well! Even though it seems a little fancy, it's a nice all-purpose tea for health and pleasure...   ##### [![vanillabean](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/vanillabean-1.jpg?width=550&height=158&name=vanillabean-1.jpg)](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/vanillabean-1.jpg?hsLang=en-us) ## Vanilla Spice Tea Blend Recipe - 1 teaspoon organic[ Raspberry leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/raspberry-leaf/profile) - 1 teaspoon organic [Oatstraw ](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/oatstraw/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Elderberries ](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/elder-berries/profile)or [Hawthorn berries](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/hawthorn-berries/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Ginger root ](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/ginger-root/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Lemon peel ](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lemon-peel/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic [Cinnamon chips](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/cinnamon-sweet-chips-organic-and-fair-trade/profile) - 1/2 teaspoon organic whole [Cloves ](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/cloves-whole-organic-and-fair-trade/profile) - 1/4 teaspoon organic [Vanilla Bean powder](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/vanilla-bean-powder/profile) Combine herbs in an [infuser, nest, or tea bag](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/teas/accessories) and put in a [teapot](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/teas/teapots).
