Yay! The first day of my 12 Days of Christmas is here!! I hope you enjoy the next 12 days. I thought we'd start out with one of my favorite holiday treats.
When I was in college, I went to a friend's house who was older and used to cook for my lowly college self quite often. One time during the holidays, she offered me some spiced tea. I was leery. I don't like spiced anything, and the spiced orange potpourri smell will drive me away from any location very quickly. But being a good house-guest I tried some. I was blown away. This stuff is good. It's not good for you at all, but it is very soothing and definitely tastes like a Christmas drink should.
To make it you'll need the following:
2 cups of Tang drink mix
2 cups sugar
1 cup instant tea (unsweetened)
1 package lemonade kool-aid
1/2 Tbsp. All-Spice
1/2 Tbsp. Cinnamon
You'll also want some kind of container (a zip-lock bag will work just fine)
Tang? I didn't even know people still drank Tang, but it is a very necessary ingredient in this mix. Trust me.
This is a drink you will want to serve with a spoon because the spices don't dissolve and you want to stir before sips to make sure you get all the flavors.
I've decided to draw up some recipe cards for all of my recipes during this series so click the link below to download the recipe cards in a pdf. Forgive my rudimentary drawing skills :)
