Fun Friday Mixes Edition- Hot Drinks




Yes, it is finally gotten cooler here and you might have seen me jumping up and down!  I love the cold weather!  But my kids especially anticipate the cooler weather when I allow them to break out the mugs in the morning and fix a hot drink!  OK, yes, usually in the evenings too.  But again, in my quest not to buy prepackaged stuff, I have been collecting my own mix favorites.  There is just something about scooping out your own heaping tablespoon of mix to heat with water.  The kids love it and so do I.  Are we saving money? Maybe not, but we are making memories and that counts for something in my book!  Healthier?  Maybe not, but certainly more fun!




Instant Russian Tea

21 oz. Tang
1 1/3 c. instant tea (we use decaf!)
1 1/3 c. sugar
1 pkg. lemonade mix
1 1/3 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. cloves

Mix all ingredients in glass jar.  Add 2-3 tsp. to mug of hot water.



Looks like a Walmart ad!
