How to Make Spiced Tea Mix
by Jane Lake
Hot spiced tea mix is a wonderful gift in a jar - easy to make, delicious to drink, and well received by anyone who likes tea.
The spices in this recipe are cinnamon, cloves and ginger, and the infused flavours are pleasantly noticeable but not overpowering. As a special occasion drink, the spiced tea works well at Thanksgiving or at Christmas, when the cold nip in the air makes a hot spiced drink very welcome.
This also makes a most appropriate gift in a jar for someone who isn't feeling well - the warm orange spiced tea flavour is most comforting, especially when you're suffering from a cold or a fever and you need those extra fluids.

Spiced Tea Mix - Gift in a Jar
Instructions:
1. Stir all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Pour into the quart jar (a funnel is useful for this but not absolutely necessary) and cap with a screw top lid, firmly screwed down.
2. Print the Spiced Tea Mix label shown above and cut it out (with fancy edged craft scissors, if you have them). Use a paper punch to put a hole in the top right hand corner.
3. Cut the lace trim to fit around the jar lid, adding an extra inch. Glue lace in place around the rim of the lid, overlapping the extra inch of lace at the back. Alternatively, you could cover the lid with a circle of lace or pretty fabric tied in place with the ribbon.
4. Tie ribbon around the lace on the jar lid, then tie the ribbon around the cinnamon sticks so that they appear at the front of the jar. Thread ribbon through the punched hole on the label and tie in place with a bow.
I've been searching for Tang or another orange powdered drink with no success in the deep South. Any advice? Enjoyed this back when even Tang popsicles were the craze.
Thanks
Hi, Jars of Tang are plentiful at the grocery chain
Winn Dixie. If not, go to your local grocery store, and request it, the store managers are usually eager to stock requested items.
always joy

how to make low calorie recipe?
I love this mix, but I actually know it by a different name: Russian tea.
Hi there, just wondering what Tang is? Don't think we can get it here. Is it a powdered fruit juice?
My mother in law is Persian, so she'll LOVE this recipe!

I bought a beeped Tea Mix from our church youth group and loved it, so I went looking for the recipe on the internet. The youth put theirs in a zip lock bag and had the directions and ingredients on the bag. All of the ingredients are the same except they added lemonade mix (as well as orenage drink mix) to theirs. So I am going to try this one and see how I like it. I simply love the other one. I am going to try using splenda and see how that tastes. Thank you so much for this site--I will be back often!
This sounds like a recipe for what I enjoyed so many years ago.
btw When I saw at the conclusion of the recipe, "makes 4 cups", I immediately began to plan on how to multiply the recipe so it would make many cups.
Only when I saw the instructions to use 3 tsp per cup did I realize what was meant by the 4 cups. Thanks for the info.
I just received this as a gift and the tea is wonderful. Now I've got my idea for next year!!!
