Even the fiercest coffee drinkers can appreciate the fact that there’s something altogether ~relaxing~ about drinking a hot cup of tea. Or, there’s something that makes you feel classy about boiling a pot of tea and pouring it into a dainty tea cup. Maybe it’s a throwback to having tea parties as a kid, or maybe it’s all that Downton Abbey imagery, but sometimes you just need a good spot ‘o tea. 

In honor of today being National Relaxation Day, we decided to round up some DIY fancy tea recipes to bring out your inner posh spice. Here are our favs:
