just ok...

Worked out great for my gift baskets! I ended up having to make so many batches that I just stopped measuring stuff and did it to taste. For my own use, I've found that making the tea in the Crockpot and then putting in a pitcher in the fridge is really easy! Just pour a mug full and microwave for about a minute and a half! Easier than measuring mix and boiling water every time you want a cup.

It is easy and good. The clover stands out a little too much. Next time I'll probably use a little less.

wonderful

I made the sugar free version of this with crystal light orange breakfast drink mix and Publix brand instant sweet tea with lemon sweeted with nutrasweet. And, let me tell you, it was sooooooooo good. I looked for tons of recipes for this online so I could make the best one. The initial bad rating this recipe got kindof threw me off at first (but I couldn't find another sugar free version) so I tried it. And I also tried a decaffeinated version that wasn't sugar free from another recipe I had where I used Tang, and it paled in comparison. This recipe is the best! Now, I'm off to try the caffeine sugar version. I think it will come out marvelously.

Just like my Mom used to make for me when I was little ! I always love to have of cup when I have a cold. I was very happy to find this today ! I mixed it with lemon theraflu! :O It was wonderful !

After reviewing a similar mix, I found this one. I was looking for a simple version of the spiced tea my mother used to make. This is PERFECT! (and simple) Thanks!!

Our Family LOVES this tea mix...I cant believe that it has gotten bad reviews. I thought this was a family recipe or that was what I was told unless your family and I dont know it. LOL GREAT TEA MIX

I love this tea mix. It makes me think of a roaring fireplace and Christmas Eve.

I tried this and I love it!!!

We have made this tea for years and enjoy it completely. Like any recipe of this nature, you can tweak it to your liking. A little more tea, little more Tang..add presweetened lemonade... Or, you can do what we do..I have extra tea and extra Tang available and you can add more of what you want..or not. One thing I like to do when I make a pot of this is to use whole cloves instead of ground cloves, and throw (well gently lay) a couple orange slices in. Makes a great holiday drink.

My mom always made this around the holidays growing up, and we loved it (she called it "Tang Tea"). You HAVE to use the lemon-flavored, sweetened iced tea mix! Or, if you use UNsweetened iced tea mix, you have to add sugar as well. Otherwise it's very bitter. I imagine this is the mistake that the people who gave the recipe a bad rating made.

This was not good. I was going to give it away for Christmas presents, but I wouldn't serve this to anyone. I ended up throwing it away instead.

I agree with Josie. It's too bad that someone else didn't like this recipe. I don't think it's too expensive, and I love how I can have a jar of this sitting on my desk at work and not have to go through all the trouble of steeping a tea bag, then adding sweetner and cream to regular tea. All you have to do is add to hot water and stir. Wonderfuly simple! And it tastes great too! Thanks Patsy!

I made up a batch of this & used it for my boyfriend and I's Valentine picnic dinner! He LOVED it! It makes a lot, so you can enjoy it whenever your in the mood! This'll be a staple in my home from now on - and wouldn't it just make a great gift in a basket?!?!?!

Patsy, this is a lovely tea mix. I've had hot spiced tea in several restaurants, and this certainly competes with them all. It's easy to add new spices to the mix and create new "strains" of the tea, such as adding vanilla or crushed raspberry candies. As for the low rating, it might be a good idea to practice ahead of time if giving as a gift to be sure of it's success. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is a really good tea mix. It's too bad someone gave it a bad review because it really has a nice flavor. Especially if you like sweet and tangy. I agree with the previous reviewer about the o
