Liz's Tea Cozies, National Hot Tea Month, and a Recipe

Tea Cozy from Shortbread and Ginger, see more below

Welcome, so happy you could join me for todays Tea Party.
 

Did you know?...
 the month of January is National Hot Tea Month.

There are so many varieties of teas available.

It's hard to chose a single favorite.

For today's tea party I've brewed up a pot of
Russian Tea  for you all to try.

I received this little jar tucked inside a bag of goodies as a Christmas gift from a member of the medical group where I work.

Filled with the instant powdered tea mix with just the right blend of spice, Mmmm.
Not tea in the traditional sense, but I love it!
It has a flavor reminescent of Wassail.

Here's the recipe:

2 cups Tang orange drink mix

1 cup Lipton Instant Unsweetened Tea mix with Lemon

(or you could substitute with 1 cup instant tea , plus 1 envelope unsweetened Lemon Kool-aid)

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

To serve- Stir 1 - 2 Tablespoons into 1 cup warm water.

Enjoy!
