Description

Jack and I were visiting his cousin Doris Beall in Basin, Wyoming and she asked us if we would like a cup of tea before we left. We declined, but she, a non-Mormon, sensed our reason for not accepting it and guaranteed this was a non-caffeine type of tea, and served us this recipe. Jack liked it so well, she gave us the recipe. Some of our family didn't like it too well, so I didn't make it often, but Jack loved it.
