Sometimes, after nights like last night (Winterfest, I'll explain later), I just like to sit back and relax with a nice hot cup of tea. Currently my favorite tea is black currant, but sometimes a more traditional tea is what I need. I found this altered recipe a few months ago and I was very excited to get a chance to try it out.
Marvelously Different Mint Tea
Juice of 2 lemons
3-4 1/2 inch coins of fresh Ginger
1 clove of garlic (trust me on this)
3 sprigs of Mint (approx. 7-10 leaves)
2L. Filtered water, boiling
Honey
Place Ginger, Mint and Garlic (peeled, but not crushed!) in a cheesecloth and tie off. Add to boiling water and cook for 5-7 min. Turn off heat and add lemon juice. Remove spices and transfer to an insulated tea pot. Into each cup, add a tsp. of honey (or to taste).

I got this recipe from Middle Earth Recipes, where it is originally called Aragorn's Athelas Tea, but for the sake of all the non-obsessed out there I changed the name.
