This is exactly what I was looking for. It is excellent!! A friend gave me some as a gift and my kids love to sip on this after playing outside to warm up.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! My grandmother used to makes this when we had a sore throat! It will definitely be great for homemade Christmas gifts.

This is a great basic recipe. However,if you like a more hearty spicy tea-based flavor, add a little more unsweetened tea and a dash or two more of cloves. Otherwise the lemon and orange take over. If you do this, you will have great tea. I even drink this in the spring!

I really liked this recipe. It definitely has the taste of fall. However, I had to do alot of tinkering to get it where I was satisfied with the taste. I little more of this and a little less of that, kinda thing. I didnt want it to have the taste of too much Tang. And I also added crushed Fire Ball candies. Dont be afraid to go with what your taste buds are telling you.

I LOVE THIS TEA!!! I made a batch to give out as Christmas gifts and had a little extra to keep for myself. Now, 2 months later, I've since made 2 more batches and drink a cup every day at work! Wonderful hot tea for those cold winter months! The flavors are amazing and it smells so good! Thanks for the great recipe.

This is excellent. I changed it a little bit (thanks EEASERI!): ½ cup instant tea powder, 1 1/4 cups sugar, 1 package of unsweetened Lemonade Kool-Aid, 1 package of unsweetened Orange Kool-Aid, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon cloves. And I ground it up in the blender. This is awesome. I expected to need to add more sugar as I tend to like my tea a little sweeter, but it is really good as is. Next time, I think I'll try the much-recommended addition of Red Hots. The nice thing is that extra sugar can be added to the mug after stirring in the tea mix if desired. Thanks for sharing, Julie!

I made this according to the recipe. It did not dissolve well. My husband and I do like it. Next time I'll add the red hots as others suggested.

This is excellent! Made some for my dad when he wasn't feeling well. It really hits the spot and smells terrific. I took others up on that red hot idea, but I chopped mine up (food chopper wasn't strong enough so I used a good ol' fashioned hammer) so they would dissolve faster. I think I'll be making some of these for Christmas gifts this year.

This is a Holiday must have. I cut down on the cloves and added the red hot candies as someone had suggested, and ran it through the food processor until everything was the same consistency...WOW!! That really kicked it up!! I have given this every year at Chirstmas and everyone loves it. It's great anytime! It is also really nice to sip on when you have a sore throat or feeling under the weather. Makes you want to just hug your mug and say...MMMMMMM!

I love this stuff. My sister gave me some for Christmas last year and I drank it all so quickly, then found this recipe. I've been making it every week, it seems! This is by far my favorite drink and I can easily make it decaf by using decaf instant tea. I also sub out a packet of lemonade kool-aid for the lemonade, that way I can use a bit less sugar because I like my drinks to be not very sweet. I love, love LOVE this stuff.

I tried this for the holidays and I used Nestea. One suggestion that I would make is NOT to grind the tea because it turns in a flour like consistancy and makes the tea taste too strong and the other flavors don't come through. I will try this again without grinding the tea.
