Hickory Nut Tea 

4 oz. packet of loose leaf hickory tea

2 cups of water

1. In a pot, add 2 cups of water to the tea. 

2. Steep for 20 minutes. The longer it steeps, the darker and more flavorful the tea will become.  

Optional; The nut meat will float on top and can be strained off, puréed in a blender and added to the tea. This adds more flavor and calorie content and creates a milky looking texture.  

3. Strain.  

4. Season with maple syrup to taste, and a pinch of cinnamon. Store up to a week in an air tight container. 

Suggestions;  This tea can be used as a substitute for liquids in baked goods, preparing rice, or adding to cereal. Add a little salt to enhance the flavor.
