One foggy Christmas party my Aunt served me a hot tasty drink that totally took me by surprise. I don't know what I was expecting but THIS was awesome. We were at a family party, all sitting around enjoying each other's company drinking "Russian Tea"yes. that is its original name. Should I keep it? I don't know. it sounds a little uh, foreign? So I changed it to Spiced Orange Cider.
EITHER way, I love this drink for special occasions on cold winter nights. (so do my kids, I might add)
A couple of years ago I doubled the batch and delivered this drink (in powdered form of course) to all my friends. I think I had a pretty clever saying to go with it....errrr. sorry I can't remember what it was. and maybe it was more dorky than clever?
EITHER way- no matter if the card was clever or not the drink stayed the same. hot mama.
(half the recipe and it fits perfectly in a 16 oz jar)

ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. My mom always served us hot Tang when we were sick - so this is a little reminder of home.
