I made the simple recipe last night, and substituted 3 Tbsp plus 1 tsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice for the assorted spices that the author used. (Pumpkin Pie Spice is a blend of all 4 of the spices used the recipe combined into one simple mix, and I happened to have some in my messy pantry!)
I wanted to use the printable tags included with the recipe, but since I only have a black and white printer I needed to do something to pump up the "wow" factor. Naturally, I turned to my supply of scrapbook paper. I cut 4"x5" strips of paper and folded them into 4"x 2.5" toppers for standard cellophane bags that can be found at any craft store and even some grocery stores. With a little glue and some staples, you have some really pretty "giftable" bags of tea mix to share with friends!
Remember to be a friend to yourself and make yourself a cup, too!
I'm enjoying a cup right now! :) Yum!
