Steps:
- Into a large bowl sift together flour, baking soda, and spices. In a medium bowl with an electric mixer beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks. In another large bowl beat butter and sugar until mixture is light and fluffy and on low speed beat in corn syrup and whipped cream, beating until cream is just combined. Add flour mixture and beat until combined well. Form dough into a disk. Chill disk, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 2 hours, and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut dough into quarters and work with 1 quarter at a time, keeping remaining dough covered and chilled. Using a rolling pin with cover dusted with flour, roll out dough into a round on a floured pastry cloth, rolling dough as thin as possible (less than 1/8 inch thick and about 14 inches in diameter) and with assorted 2- to 3-inch cutters cut out cookies. Carefully transfer cookies as cut to ungreased baking sheets with a metal spatula, arranging them about 1/2 inch apart, and top each with an almond slice. Reroll scraps and cut out more cookies in same manner.
- Bake cookies in batches in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until cookies puff and then collapse slightly, about 6 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets 1 minute and transfer with metal spatula to racks to cool completely. Make more cookies with remaining dough in same manner. Cookies keep in airtight containers at room temperature 1 week.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Fresh spices will give your tea the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use dried spices, but reduce the amount you use by half.
- Peel the ginger before using it. The peel of the ginger can be tough and bitter. Peeling the ginger will help to ensure that your tea is smooth and flavorful.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the tea. This will help to remove any sediment from the tea.
- Sweeten the tea to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or another sweetener of your choice. If you are using honey, add it to the tea after it has cooled slightly, so that the honey does not lose its flavor.
- Serve the tea hot or cold. Swedish ginger, cinnamon, and clove tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. If you are serving the tea cold, let it cool completely before refrigerating it.
Conclusion:
Swedish ginger, cinnamon, and clove tea is a delicious and healthy beverage that can be enjoyed year-round. It is a great way to warm up on a cold day or to cool down on a hot day. The spices in the tea have many health benefits, including boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and improving digestion. If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful tea to enjoy, Swedish ginger, cinnamon, and clove tea is a great option.
