The sweet, spicy smell of gingerbread brings to mind warm moments by the fire with a steaming cup of tea. Choose a Traditional Medicinals tea that's carefully formulated to keep your digestive system happy from the holiday eating festivities. Make your gingerbread with as many organic ingredients as possible, and enjoy the guiltlessness of unrefined sweeteners and spelt flour (an ancient relative of wheat but much easier to digest).
