Great recipe! i didn't add any extra sugar b/c i used a pre-sweetened lemonade mix (of course tang is pre-sweetened as well). it would have been way too sweet if i would have added the sugar.

I like this, but I'm not so certain about the amount of Tang involved. I didn't use the entire amount called for bc I didn't have enough, but I'd maybe cut that to 1 1/2 c or 1 c and increase the tea a bit. It does remind me a bit of mulled cider, but I'd have to experiment a bit more to make it a little more to my liking. Still, it is a nice hot drink that I like better than hot chocolate and a bit less than cider. Thanks for the recipe!

Well, I have never tasted Russian tea, so I can't compare this to that. This is very good and addictive on cold winter mornings. I used Lipton tea powder, a small container of Tang which was not quite 2 cups, and sweetened Countrytime lemonade powder in the plastic container. I didn't have allspice so I used 1/2 tsp cloves and a splash of nutmeg. It is heavenly. Made it for gifts and just labeled it "Spiced Orange Tea". It is not too orangy, not too sweet, and not too spicy. Just right! The drink is a brownish orange color. Thanks!!!!!!!!

I have made this for about 3 years in a row now! And every winter I come back to this recipe!! I love it!! I add a little more allspice because it makes it deeper (?) tasting, not just sweet! But I love it either way!

I made a jar of this mix and brought it in to work. Whenever I want some, I just get some hot water and mix! It's a good way to warm up in a cold office.

Does anyone have any suggestions...Tang has been reformulated and now is "ultra concentrated". I tried substituting orange cool-aid mix for the Tang and it was horrible, way too strong.

Really too sweet, although that could have been my fault, because I didn't know what lemonade mix they meant, and used country time which is sweetened, maybe I should have used unsweetened Koolaid? Not as good as my mom used to make, but not bad.

Very good, a bit too sweet. I was hoping it would be exactly like my grandma's used to be. I think next time i won't add as much sugar, or lemonade mix to make it more to my liking! But thank you very much for posting this recipe, otherwise I would of never had anything even NEAR my grandma's recipe!!

I didn't think the flavors blended very well. It seemed to taste like weak tea with Tang in it.

My four stars is more a reflection of ingredient (un)availability than of the recipe as written. I went to three different grocery store chains and could not find instant tea mix wasn't pre-sweetened as well as lemon-flavored. To compensate, I eliminated the added sugar from the recipe all together. I also reduced the lemonade powder (for the 24 servings scale) from 3 oz. to 1 oz (i.e., three envelopes of unsweetened Kool-Aid-type lemonade mix). I'm definitely keeping this handy all winter!

We modified this a bit, so couldn't quite give the original 5 stars. We added more tea and tweaked it suit our taste. Included a jar of this in a housewarming gift basket, and it went over very well. Will keep our modified version and use for a long time to come.

My family makes this every holiday and then mom sometimes surprises me with it. I LOVE IT. This recipe might need a little tweeking as others say but if you are like me and drink the Arnald Palmers (ice tea and lemon-aid)when you're out then this is such a treat! Be careful with moisture because it will clump up super easy.

HERE IS THE DEAL WITH THIS RECIPE......ALL THE SPICES AND FLAVORS NEED TIME TO BLEND TOGETHER BEFORE TASTE TESTING AND DECIDING THAT IT NEEDS MORE THIS AND THAT...... ALWAYS ADD/DECREASE TO YOUR LIKING BUT DO GIVE IT TIME LIKE MOST THINGS....ALWAYS BETTER THE NEXT DAY.

Needs more tea and sugar - this is very very very tangy - we added another 1/2 C of tea and over a cup of sugar and it was much better.
