]]> There is nothing better than sitting near a fire during the cold months and having a hot drink in your hand. And, especially when the weather is getting worse, it is always nice to have friends around to keep you company.

If you ever find yourself with a lot of people in your house and you want to chill out, making tea is an awesome way to bring everyone together. Here are some unique and delicious tea infusions that everyone will love.

Mint And Lemon

Whether you are using store-bought bags of mint or peppermint tea, or fresh herbs, there is something so therapeutic and warming about hot mint tea. It is also a great drink to have after eating a big meal because it aids in digestion. Add in some juicy lemons and you simply can’t beat it.

Ginger And Honey

Ginger is a spicy root herb that is perfect for winter days. If you are using fresh ginger though, make sure you take off the skin unless you buy organic. An easy way to do that is to just use a teaspoon to scrape it off! Boil pieces of ginger in a pot with water and serve with honey.
