As the tea brews, rim the glasses with honey and dip them upside-down into a shallow bowl with ground cinnamon and coconut sugar. Make sure the rims are coated well, then evenly divide the freshly brewed tea into each glass. Garnish each glass with an extra rosemary sprig, cinnamon stick, orange slice, and a handful of fresh cranberries. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tip: This hot toddy tea is meant to be alcohol-free, but if you’re not strictly Paleo and want to add a bit of alcohol, simply add a 1/2 to 1 ounce of bourbon into each glass before pouring in the tea.
