I love this Autumn Tea Recipe. It is perfect for a crisp morning after you get up and you are looking for warmth. It is also the perfect addition for a tea menu or brunch. If you use decaf you can even enjoy right before bedtime snuggled up with a good book.
I suggest making your own Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe to save money! I like to serve this Autumn Tea Recipe with Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread or Pumpkin Gingerbread. This Autumn Tea Recipe is perfect for the cooler weather of fall.
