CINNAMON TEA
Cinnamon Tea is really good to take during a cold, as it will cause you to sweat. Cinnamon is a strong stimulant and this really works. Simmer 6 sticks of cinnamon in 2 cups of water for 30 minutes. Strain and add milk and honey after removing the cinnamon sticks. Tastes delicious and kids love it.

HERBAL HOLIDAY CRAFTS
During December, as family members prepare to celebrate the Yule holiday, decorations can be made for the Yule tree and for the home. Children enjoy stringing cranberries or popcorn and making cinnamon ornaments for the tree and as simple gifts for grandparents and other family members.
CINNAMON SPICE ORNAMENTS
1 cup Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Cloves
1 tablespoon Nutmeg
1 tablespoon Orris Root
1/2 cup Applesauce
2 tablespoons White Glue
Combine dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Roll out at least 1/4 inch thick and cut shapes. Make holes so they can be hung. Allow to dry 4-5 days. Turn them every day while drying.
ORANGE POMANDERS
Another holiday favorite that our family enjoys making is orange pomanders. These are made by inserting Clove buds into an orange at 1/8 - 1/4 inch intervals. You can use a toothpick to puncture the orange before inserting the clove. After the orange is thoroughly covered with cloves, roll the oranges in the spice mixture and place them in a bowl with the excess spice mixture and allow to cure for two to four weeks. When the pomanders are dry, dust off the spices and hang with a ribbon. The wonderful aromas make this project a joy.
SPICE MIXTURE
1/4 cup Ground Cinnamon
1/4 cup Ground Cloves
2 tablespoons Ground Nutmeg
2 tablespoons Ground Allspice
1/4 cup Powdered Orris Root
You will need approximately 1/2 pound of whole cloves to make 6 pomanders.
SIMMERING SPICE BLEND
If you enjoy a spicy herbal blend to scent your home try this easy to prepare simmering blend. You can probably find most of these herbs in your cupboard and can just toss a handful into a simmering pot to add a spicy holiday aroma to your home.

3 ounces Orange Peel Pieces
3 ounces Star Anise
2 ounces Whole Cloves
1 ounces Crushed Nutmeg
