Old Maid Tea
Old Maid Tea

Kimberly from Corvallis, OR - remembers her favorite childhood food memory... My Mom & my Grandmother both drank this when they were kids. My Mom made it for me & now my girls enjoy it too! Old Maid's Tea is half a cup of milk w/ honey & nutmeg - heat it up - add water (whatever temp. to make it comfortable to drink)- mix & enjoy! Thanks Kimberly.. what a fun memory.. and I love the name. Here's a few hot drink recipes I have found... a tad different than yours...

  1. Boil some water and put it into a cup.

  3. Add one spoon of sugar and stir until Dad says to stop because the tinkling spoon is driving him crazy.
  4. Dink and enjoy.
