As Halloween approached, one could see all of the spirited
A sign greets all who enter....
Charmed toys say hello....
In the kitchen, you may taste magical brews, as you enter the....
Let us make a magical tea using these spoons....
Ahhh, perhaps a recipe will do! Let us open the **Magical** book....
Here you will find potent witch's brews....
Halloween Traditions and tidbits...
And herbal lore and remedies...
Now....let's see...what are we looking for? Oh yes!
Amas Veritas Tea
Huge batch dried Lemon Verbena Leaves
1 large lemon
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 tsp. Orange Water
Honey
Rose Petals (optional)
In a large Cauldron (or kettle, if you prefer), boil Lemon Verbena for 10 minutes, until lemon verbena scent fills the room. Turn off kettle, squeeze large lemon into brew. Grind small portion of cinnamon into brew. Add 1 tsp orange water to tea. Steep tea. Pour into teacup of choice. Add a small drizzle of honey. Add sugar cube. Stir clockwise, and dream of that thing you love. Rose petal can be added for affect. Imagine happiness and positivity coming your way! For full effect, best done by full moon! ENJOY!
We think the little witch in you will approve!
