Friendship Tea

Our dear friend, Alice (Allie) Black Parker has made our family this special tea just around the holidays for many years. Last year Kade had a yucky cold, and we were in between our normal time for having his on hand. Allie ran to town and gathered up all the special ingredients so he could have his requested cup of tea. (Isn't she a special friend! - we would not know what to do without her!) Funny - he shared his cold with all of us, and we all ended up piled up in the house for a few days - all drinking hot tea...and feeling better with each cup! With all the colds and flu going around - I thought it might be a good time to share this special recipe!

Friendship Tea
1 (18 oz.) jar dry Tang (orange drink mix)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup pre-sweetened dry lemonade mix
1/2 cup dry instant tea (can use decaf if you like)
1 (3 oz.) package apricot flavored gelatin
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Store in an airtight container, and give to your friends!

To serve, place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mix (or more to your liking) in a cup and add boiling water. Stir well and enjoy. (This recipe makes about about 50 servings)
