In the Spirit of the Harvest Moon

Although it was still 80 degrees outside this evening, my anticipation of the change of seasons and the first day of Fall tomorrow (and Harvest Moon tonight! First Day of Fall 2010) put me in the mood for a warming, spicy treat after dinner.  I had been meaning to try this grapefruit tea recipe which I found at wholeliving.com.

Combine and boil the following in a small pot:
Juice of 1 grapefruit
1/4-1/2 cup water (depending on desired volume)
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp whole allspice berries
1 tsp honey (or to taste)









Strain into mug to remove grapefruit fibers. 
I transferred the allspice to a tea ball and let it sit in the tea to maximize flavor.
