Spark Four

Handmade Spark Challenge 4 To Teach Us Something   I had a really difficult time coming up with this challenge but I realized as I made Friendship Tea this morning that this was one of my favorite recipes and it needed to be shared (and it happens to fit the 4th challenge).  Friendship Tea 1 cup Instant Tea 2 cups Tang (yup, the Astronaut’s drink) 2 pkgs of presweetened lemonade** (if unsweetened add 1 cup sugar) 1 tsp. cloves 1 tsp. ground cinnamon Mix Together ingredients and store in covered jar. Use 1 heaping tsp. or more (to taste) to 1 cup boiling water.  **I prefer pink lemonade just because it’s prettier.    Step 1:  Dump in the two cups of Tang in a container big enough for 3-4 cups of dry ingredients. Step 2:  Add your Instant Tea Step 3:  Pour in your lemonade (pink if you prefer)  Step 4:  Add your cinnamon and cloves. Here’s a side view of my double batch of Friendship Tea – Pre-mix. I used a knife to do the mixing…seemed to work pretty well… See, it’s still pretty after it’s been mixed!  Next I warm up some water in one of my favorite handmade mugs (of course) and add the Friendship Tea.   Sip. Enjoy. be Comforted.
