For years, our family has relied on this homespun mix to make hot spiced tea and a heartwarming punch. My parents always served steaming mugs of this punch at Thanksgiving. It was everyone's favorite. Ingredients:
1 jar (21.1 ounces) orange breakfast drink mix |
1 jar (6 ounces) sugar-free instant lemon iced tea mix |
2/3 cup sweetened lemonade drink mix |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
additional ingredients for hot spiced tea: |
1 cup boiling water |
additional ingredients for hot spiced punch: |
2 quarts apple juice or cider |
1-1/2 cups cranberry juice |
3 cinnamon sticks (3-1/2 inches) |
Directions:
1. In an airtight container, combine the first five ingredients. Store in a cool dry place for up to 6 months. Yield: about 7-1/2 cups total.
2. To prepare tea: Dissolve about 1 tablespoon tea mix in boiling water; stir well. Yield: 1 serving.
3. To prepare punch: In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the juices, 1/4 to 1/3 cup tea mix and cinnamon sticks. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Yield: about 12 servings (6 ounces each). Yield: 1 serving.
