I am not a coffee drinker by any means and so when I start to feel a chill in the air, I turn to tea, cider, and hot cocoa. I have loved this particular recipe for tea since I was a little girl. It’s fragrant, fruity, and instant! It makes a really nice gift around the holidays in a decorative jar, too! Best of all it takes about 5 minutes to make and then you have stash of it for winter!
There are only six ingredients and I have four of those just in my pantry. Other than that, you will need a canister of Tang or similar drink and lemon flavored instant tea. If desired, get tea that is decaf.
The Tang is a nice way to get some extra Vitamin C, too! Goodness knows anyone who works in a school can use all the Vitamin C they can get!
