Ingredients

  • 1 cup instant tea
  • 1 cup Tang
  • 1 package instant lemonade
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  2. To serve, place 2 teaspoons of the mix into a cup of boiling water and stir well.

Tips & Substitutions

For a more robust flavor, consider using brewed tea instead of instant tea. You can also swap out the Tang for a different powdered drink mix, like lemonade or fruit punch, to customize the taste. If you want a less sweet version, reduce the sugar to your preference. Adding a pinch of nutmeg can elevate the spice profile beautifully.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this tea mix hot, garnished with a cinnamon stick or a slice of lemon for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with sweet treats like Orange No-Bake Cookies or a slice of a rich dessert. For a festive touch, consider serving it at gatherings or during holiday seasons, making it a delightful addition to your beverage selections.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover tea mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain its flavor and freshness. To reheat, simply dissolve 2 teaspoons of the mix in boiling water, stirring well until fully combined. This makes it easy to enjoy a warm cup anytime.
