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.

This is just like the hot beverage I remember having as a kid. Thanks for the recipe. I would not change a thing. Husband and kids enjoy it too.

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.

Very similar to a recipe I have for Friendship Tea. Gave those as Christmas presents. This is sweeter, which I like better.

While I just thought this tasted like spiced Tang, my kids loved it. They serve it to all their friends who come over, and tell them it's a secret recipe. All the kids beg me to give their parents the "secret". Thank you for the recipe.

Absolutely delicious! Tastes just like mulled cider and is a nice change instead of hot chocolate on a cold winter day. Have had many requests for the mix. Makes a great gift.

We had a Bridal Shower Tea Party for my now sister in law. I made this to give as her shower favor. It was great tasting although if you use sweetened lemon ice tea mix which was all that I could find at my grocery store I would decrease the lemonade mix and sugar. I am going to try it next with unsweetened instant tea crystals processed in a blender first and see how that works. Thanks for sharing!!

I have made this recipe several times already. At Christmastime I included it in the gift baskets I made for my sons's middle school teachers. A nice caffeine free alternative when I want a hot drink and want to limit my coffee consumption. Very satisfying!

Really good, but make sure you use non-lemon flavored iced tea mix. I used lemon iced tea mix, because that was what I had on-hand, and it was a little too lemony

I like to add crushed Red Hots cinnamon candies. Measure 1/8 cup candies, place in a sandwich bag between a dish towel and crush with a hammer. Add to mix. Allow mix to set a few days for flavors to compliment each other.

my grandmother used to make this stuff, too, so I'm glad to find the recipe. she used to call it "German" tea, though. I bet it changed with every cook!

My mom used to make this when I was a kid. She never had a set recipe but the ingredients were basically the same as this one. The only difference is that she added cinnamon imperials to the mix (candies, not the baking ones). This adds color, flavor and makes it fun for the kids. Try it!

This recipe brought back memories of nights in the Northern woods with my grandparents. I was delighted to find "Granny's tea" after all these years. Excellent! A real tangy warm treat.

My husband loved this stuff. I doubled the amount of spice and ended up having to make more. I also gave it for holiday gifts with some czechoslovakian cookies. Next time I'll just keep it on hand and not wait for a holiday.
