ABOUT MCGOWAN'S OLDE TYME SPRING SPICED TEA

When I was a boy, not only did my mother make wassail (link), she made a summertime powdered drink she called spiced tea.  It was very refreshing to mix a few spoonfuls into some water and drink over ice on a hot summer day!  Coincidentally, there was some crossover with the taste of her wassail.  Growing up in the South, we have a thing for sweet tea.  In my home state of Kentucky, we have a thing for mint.  I put all these concepts together (and added a touch of love) to create my own McGowan’s Olde Tyme Spring Spiced Tea.  Taste it and you, too, may find yourself simultaneously refreshed and transported to a warm spring day and a simpler time.
