Here is a recipe for a cup of tea that is both sexy and delicious. Flavored with cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla, all considered to be amour boosting ingredients, this sweet, spicy, and creamy hot toddy will warm you up in more ways then one. It’s based around the Herbal Hot Cinnamon Spice tea blend from Harney & Sons. Since this blend contains naturally caffeine-free rooibos, instead of a black tea, the only stimulation you’ll get is from the aphrodisiac spices, making it the perfect drink before bed (wink, wink). It does lend itself well to the addition of a dash of bourbon, if you are so inclined, however it is truly luscious as is. Enjoy it on it’s own or compliment the tea’s affect by sharing it with someone special.
Ingredients – makes two cups
- 3 teaspoons Herbal Hot Cinnamon Spice, Harney & Sons
- 16 oz water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 fresh ginger coins, cut to 1/4″

In a saucepan, add: tea, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ginger. Simmer for 5 minutes.
