Spiced Tea

Posted on January 6, 2012 by shannonp

I’m a lover of heated drinks. All. Of. Them. This is one of my favorites that my mom has always {for as long as I can remember anyway} had around the house. It is soo yummy and perfect for winter nights.

Just store in an airtight container with a tablespoon and you’ll be set!

Spiced Tea {I think it’s really called Friendship Tea}
1 c. Instant Tea {not sweetened}
2 c. Tang
1 sm pkg. of Lemonade Mix
1 1/2 c. Sugar
1 tsp. Ground Cloves
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Allspice

Combine all of the ingredients and store in an airtight container. Use 2 tablespoons per cup of hot water {I boil the water in a kettle and pour over mix in mug}, or to taste. Stir well. Place a cinnamon stick in each cup for a stir stick {I never do this but sounds cute for a party}.
