Description
A dry citrus-spice instant tea mix, approximately fourteen two-tablespoon portions pending measured jar volume.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Powdered orange drink mix, sweetened
- 1/4 cup Powdered lemonade drink mix, sweetened
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened instant black tea powder
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground cloves
Instructions
- In a completely dry bowl whisk 1 cup sweetened powdered orange drink mix, 1/4 cup sweetened powdered lemonade drink mix, 1/4 cup unsweetened instant black tea powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/8 tsp ground cloves until evenly distributed.
- Transfer immediately to a clean, completely dry airtight jar, breaking up any lumps. Label the ingredient brands and preparation date; keep the mix dry.
- For one working small cup, stir approximately 2 tbsp dry mix into 8 oz hot water until dissolved. Taste the first cup and record actual strength and sweetness; branded powders differ and may require a separately measured revision.
- Measure final loose dry-mix volume and count real two-tablespoon portions before claiming a fourteen-serving yield. Do not infer a caffeine number or shelf life from a generic instant-tea label.
