Hot Drink Recipes

 

Hot Spiced Tea

2 cups Tang orange drink mix
1 pkg lemonade mix
1/2 cup instant tea mix
1 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.

When you are ready to serve, use 2 teaspoons of Spiced Tea Mix to 1 cup boiling water.

Gift idea: Make a gift basket filled with this tea mix, a pretty tea cup and homemade cookies. (other neat things for the gift basket could be an embroidered hanky, fancy teaspoon, and other garage sale finds, etc..) Use a pretty jar or canning jar to hold the tea - tie a ribbon with a few cinnamon sticks in the bow. Add the instructions to a jar label or gift tag.
