Miss Mia loves to feel that she is a grown up. This includes making tea or coffee in our Cuisinart. Unfortunately, caffeine and a three year old are just not something Mommy wants to mix. So, I searched and came up with a spiced cider recipe. It's also referred to as "friendship tea" on various websites and older cookbooks. From reading, it appears this can be served hot or cold. We've only tried it hot.
It's not too bad. Of course, we've reduced the amount of sugar . . . yet another thing Mommy doesn't want a three year old to have too much of during the day!
Spiced Cider
- adapted from various old cookbooks and websites
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup tang
1/2 c instant tea (unsweetened)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
Dump all ingredients in blender. Mix until fine powder (be warned, it will create a large dust cloud, so you may want it to settle before removing blender lid). Store in airtight container. Add 2-3 T to one cup hot water.
