Welcome to The Storied Recipe Podcast, a podcast about food, culture, and love.
I've curated this list of 13 Winter Teas from Aroundthe World, the second in a series of Winter Drinks Around the World Series in conjunction with Mornings, Math, and Chai Masala from my podcast guest, Karthika Gupta.
This is the second post in Winter Drinks Around the World Series and I could think of no better drink to warm up with than tea. This collection of international winter teas are a blend of citrusy, spicy, and soothing that different cultures turn to when the weather starts to turn. I hope you are inspired by this list and choose your next cozy winter tea!
How To Use This List
- I have complied a list of teas combined with other ingredients such as spices or fruits, so you will not find more general tea categories if it is just tea leaves, such as "black teas, red teas", "Yerba Mate", etc.
- Not all of these recipes are the strict definition of tea, meaning some recipes are called tea but they don't use tea leaves, but they are labeled as tea so I included them in this list.
- Please let me know if you have any recipes to add to this list!
- Each recipe is formatted as the title of the recipe, followed by a "|" symbol and then the blog or person who it is from.
- I've split this list into the following categories: Spiced Teas, Fruit Teas, Alcoholic Teas, and Savory Teas.
