When I was growing up my family always had this tea at Christmas time. We never had it at any other time of 
the year. It was always a Holiday treat. Even today, Christmas is just not Christmas without some Hot Spiced Tea.
I think it may be similar to some Russian spiced tea recipes, but I've never seen another recipe like it. If you have, please let me know.
