Spiced Tea Mix
Let’s talk nostalgia, throwbacks, the good ‘ol days …
Spiced Tea Mix!
This is one of those fun “Gift from the Kitchen” recipes that you can give anytime during the FRIGID wintry months, especially as a stocking stuffer for Christmas or as a token gift for the host when you’re invited to a party. Personally I find it hard to give it up, unless for a good friend … and even then, I hesitate. 😉
I remember my mom making this up when I was little. She would make it especially during the holidays and it was one of my favorite memories along with her Sausage Cheese Balls!
We used to call it Russian Tea, then moved on to Orange Spice Tea and now we’ve settled on Spiced Tea Mix. No matter the “proper” name, I absolutely love it.
It taste so cozy delish!
If you need a quick and easy gift from the kitchen to create to give to family or friends, then this is it. Enjoy all winter long! Now go grab a hot mug of Spiced Tea mix and cozy up to the fire. Nice.

I absolutely love this recipe. I made it twice, then finally just tripled it tonight! I drink it everyday and plan to give some more for gifts.
