Spiced Citrus Tea Mix

While searching through my Mom's older-than-me recipes I came across a spice and tea blend (not titled) that uses Tang. Having never seen a recipe using Tang, and I'm not even sure it still exists, I thought you all might enjoy hearing about it if not trying it.

2 cups Tang
3/4 cup lemon-flavored instant tea
1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

After mixing, use 1 Tablespoon per boiling cup of water.

Here is a more natural recipe:

Peel of 1 Lemon
Peel of 1 Orange
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1 nutmeg crushed
1/2 of honey
1 1/2 gallons of water
16 regular tea bags

Combine all ingredients except for tea and honey into a large stock pot or crock pot and simmer for at least 1 hour. Turn off the heat and add the tea bags and steep for at least 3-5 minutes but really as long as you like. Strain mixture, return to pot and add honey. Serve hot.

You can also use this recipe for mulled wine. Simply replace the water and tea with only 2 cups of water, substitute honey with 1 cup of sugar, and after straining, add 6 cups of red wine. This is especially delicious in winter.
