Description

Warm up on a cold day with a cup of hot spiced cider or tea.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Tang Orange Instant Drink Mix
  • ½ cups Instant Tea (regular Or Decaf)
  • 1 package (about 0.16 Oz. Packet) Kool-Aid Lemonade Mix (unsweetened Package)
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Cloves
  • ½ gallons Apple Cider (for Making Hot Spiced Cider)

Preparation

To make the mix:
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well then place spiced mix in an airtight container until ready to use. The mix yields 4 cups and will fit into a quart canning jar, which also makes a pretty way to package the mix and give as a gift.

To make hot spiced apple cider:
Pour 1/2 gallon apple cider into a large Dutch oven or pot. Turn heat to medium and add 2/3 cup of the spiced mix then stir to dissolve. Continue heating cider until it is warm but not boiling. Serve while warm.

To make hot spiced tea:
Add 1 tablespoon of the dry mix to 1 cup of warm water. Stir to dissolve.
