The recipe calls for: 1 teaspoon ground ginger
and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves the cloves mentioned here are a spice. They come in the whole form and a ground form. For the tea in the recipe, Whatever type of tea makes you happy would be a good choice. I would personally use just regular tea, or possibly something like an apple cranberry herb tea might be interesting, but I would use whatever I had on hand. Several of the recipes I read call for just boiling water, so I would think even that would suffice here. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blaine Deutscher" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 07, 2009 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Upside-Down Apple Gingerbread Recipe What kind of Tea would you use in this Recipie?

I am kicking myself because when I got rid of my last microwave I tossed the turntable out with it... bad mistake... that turntable would have been perfect for dishes like this...flat, and prettier than cookie sheets for serving... so hang on to those microwave turntables or go garage saling!
