A bit of history
The tradition of Christmas tea is now centuries old.
It is composed of spices, tea, and sometimes citrus fruits.
It was in England during the reign of Queen Victoria that the tradition of drinking flavored tea around the time of the holiday season began.
Russia and Germany are associated with this tradition, as it was common to drink mulled wine or spiced tea to protect oneself from the harsh winter.
In the 1930s, the "Temperance League" served flavored tea around the time of the holiday season to further its cause among the working classes: to keep thousands of people away from alcohol consumption.
It wasn't until 1980 that France discovered Christmas tea, marketed for the first time by the Compagnie Coloniale.

The black tea of Ceylon
Ceylon Dimbula Elephant tea is grown in Sri Lanka in the Dimbulla province, located in the center of the country.
It has beautiful dark leaves with a sweet and fruity flavor.
Its infusion is clear, and Ceylon tea lovers prefer it for breakfast.
The teas from this region, like all the country's tea-producing regions, enjoy an international reputation, particularly favored by the British royal family.
Cultivation at high altitudes benefits from a tropical climate punctuated by two monsoon periods.

My Christmas tea recipe
There are many flavored black teas under the "Christmas Tea" label.
My recipe is both traditional and original, with aromatic ingredients that make it unique.
The qualities of Ceylon tea are a boon for the introduction of carefully selected and carefully measured spices.
They darken the color of the cup, which develops all its aromas, providing a pleasant and warm sensation.
By enjoying this flavored black tea, you may be promoting your renal circulation thanks to polyphenols, organic molecules found in the plant kingdom.
Caffeine stimulates alertness and attention, and the medicinal properties of spices have long been known in pharmacopoeia.

How to prepare your flavored Ceylon tea?
Heat water between 85° and 90°C, rinse the tea by pouring a little water over the tea, then discard it. 
Add the tea to the teapot filter and let it steep for 2 minutes or 3 minutes if you prefer a bitter taste.
Repeat your infusion for your enjoyment!
Heat slightly less water but at the same temperature and let it steep for another
2 minutes. You'll enjoy the flavors that are still present.
Small cookies for breakfast or a chocolate pastry are a delicious and sweet way to accompany your drink.
