THE QUEEN'S TEA

When I go on the radio show "Kickin' it with the Queen" on Off the Top Radio, I bring tea. The queen loves her tea. Here is the recipe she enjoys so much:
Black tea
slices of ginger
sliced lemon with peels
cinnamon
honey
lemon balm
cloves

Simmer all ingredients except the black tea for about an hour. Make the tea separately in a big pot. When it is done brewing (about 5 minutes) combine with the other ingredients, straining out the tea bags, spices, and fruit. Enjoy with great conversation!
