We love this Hot Spiced Tea drink mix. It’s a family tradition we enjoy ourselves, plus, we love making it to give to friends and loved ones. When the spicy orange fragrance of this tea fills the house, it just says, “Holiday!” It makes me think of the glitter and lights of the Christmas tree, a snowy day, and the joy of having my family around me.
There are many variations of this hot spiced tea all over the Internet, but this one is pretty basic. Let’s keep things simple so that we can enjoy creating all these wonderful memories, right? It is a wonderful homemade gift for school teachers, Sunday school workers, coaches, music instructors, and all those folks who add so much to our children’s lives.
