Oh, these chilly winter days make me wish for something to warm me up from the inside out. Today felt like the perfect day to mix up some Spiced Tea. It’s a simple recipe with just a few ingredients and it makes enough that I have plenty to share. And, I can mix it standing on one foot!
I remember a dreary winter day at BPS when so many of us there had the sniffles. I brought in some spiced tea mix and as we sipped this tea, it seemed to soothe those scratchy throats and bolster us just enough so we could get through another day with a smile for those little kiddos!
I use Tang in my Spice Tea mix because it has Vitamin C included. That might be why a cup of this tea makes me feel so much better!
SPICED TEA
3/4 cup instant powdered tea
1 1/2 cup Tang
1 2-quart package of lemonade mix
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
I gather all the ingredients, measure them into a big bowl and stir. I increased the cinnamon to two teaspoons because I like that flavor. You can adjust the spices to suit your tastes too. Be sure to store the mixture sealed tightly in a couple of glass canning jars.

To serve, stir two teaspoons of the mixture into a cup of steaming hot water and then sip and relax! Voila! Warmed from the inside out!
I can be persuaded to make this and ship it to you...for a small shipping and handling fee of course. Or if you are in the neighborhood, drop by and we'll visit over a couple of cups of tea!
Stay warm!
