Cinnamon Anise Tea

---

Tea is very popular in the middle east. This is one that i've been making for a long time and not only does it taste great it has a mild soothing quality. It's certainly nothing medicinal but a few peaceful mins is a day can't be a bad thing. The cooking time is for steeping.
