Homemade Gingerbread Playdough

We made gingerbread playdough today. The kids had a blast making the dough and then rolling and cutting it with cookie cutters.
Here is the recipe:

Gingerbread Playdough
 * Note - I halved the recipe and it worked fine.

4+ cups flour
3/4 cups salt
2 Tbsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp ginger
2 Tbsp instant tea (this is a powdered tea mix that is available in the coffee/tea aisle at the grocery store. I know Licpton makes some.)
2 cups water
1/2 cup oil

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.  Add wet ingredients and stir. If the dough is sticky, knead in enough flour to make it the desired consistency. (Note - we added a lot more flour so it wasn't so sticky.)
Get out your cookie cutters and playdough tools and have fun!
If the dough starts to get sticky again as the kids are playing with it, just knead in more flour again.
