Friendship Tea

Submitted by Martha Zimmerman from McDonough Power Cooperative

Ingredients:

1/2 cup instant tea
1 cup sweetened lemonade
1 cup Tang (orange drink mix)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves

Directions:

Mix all ingredients well and store in an airtight container. Makes 40 cups of tea, very flexible gift for one person or for many. Include these instructions with gift: 2 to 3 teaspoons in cup, add hot or boiling water. Here are some options for gifting: 1) small jar, ribbon around lid and/or cloth over lid with instructions on a decorative tag. 2) holiday treat bag tied with decorative ribbon and instruction tag. 3) add some holiday cookies and put the tea and cookies in a larger bag.

NOTE: This recipe came from the Coop magazine many, many years ago (maybe 20 or more). I kept it in a cook book and didn’t make it until about 5 years ago. It was a big hit!
