Spiced Tea Mix

Fancy a cup?

I love spiced tea. It’s one of my favorite holiday drinks. It is warming and spicy goodness in a happy little cup.

Making spiced tea is fairly easy.

Here’s what you need to make your very own spiced tea.

This recipe will fill about 2 pint-sized canning jars, with a bit left over…you know, for taste testing.

How to make it.

• 1 cup of (unsweetened) instant tea *regular or decaf* <~~~ Bahahaha! I said decaf….
• 2 cups of Tang or powdered orange flavored drink mix *not a sports drink*
• 2 cups of sugar, or 1 1/2 cups if you like your tea less sweet
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of cloves
• 1 teaspoon of dried orange peel
• 1 teaspoon of dried lemon peel
• 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon of ginger

Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Place into a gift-able glass jar.

Directions for use:

Stir in 2 TBSP (or less to taste) of mix per cup of boiling water. Stir. Sip. Enjoy!
