recipe of the week - Russian Tea (Instant Spiced Tea Mix)

i love this tea mix.  It tastes wonderful and smells divine!  Now, you can go and find recipes for authentic Russian Tea but they are a good bit of work.  And, i grew up with the instant tea like this and have always enjoyed it!

1 Large jar of Tang
1&1/2 cups of sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup Lemon drink mix
1/2 c Instant Tea
1 tsp ground cloves

Mix all ingrediants.  Store in a glass jar.  To serve, boil water and add instant tea mix to taste.

*For a regular size coffee cup, as pictured, i use to spoons of the mix.
*You can use Instant Lemon flavored tea (1 cup) and kill 2 birds with one stone
*i omitted the gloves because A. 5 different flavors were pretty and B. ground cloves are expensive!
*makes a great gift.  Just put in a  fun glass jar with a ribbon and voila!
