spiced tea

Happy December 7th!

It's cold today.

And it was cold yesterday.

And it's going to be cold for the rest of the week! YEEEESSSSS!!! Ok, I know. We're in the 40's in FL while the rest of the US is already in the midst of sleet, and snow flurries. But I'm not complaining, I have very much enjoyed wearing my J Crew pea coat and boots. It feels like Christmas, and I am going to embrace every bit of it.

In honor of Christmas, and this amazing winter weather, I want to share with you my prized "Spiced Tea" recipe. It will warm you all over, and bring a sweet smile to your face. Now, this by no means is healthy, or all that good for you. Um, hello? 'Tis the season to throw all of that out the window. So drink up, and be merry.

Holiday Spiced Tea

1 C. Tang powdered drink mix
1 C. Lemonade powdered drink mix
1/2 C. Instant unsweetened tea
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Cloves (ground)
1 handful of red hots

Feel free to tweak the recipe to your liking. Mix in a airtight container. Scoop 2 spoonfull's in a mug, and fill with boiling water. Stir and enjoy!

What's your favorite holiday treat?
