Amanda is a late-twenties Cajun, a busy professional woman and mother, who gives away jars of her spiced tea mix every winter; usually a few weeks before Christmas, when temperatures in Louisiana sometimes plunge into the 60's.
For many, Amanda's tea is more welcome than Santa. And, it does not take a chef, or even a good cook, to make.
You can begin with a cup of powdered instant tea mix. Amanda uses Nestea, but you can try other brands if you have a favorite.
Add two cups of Tang. Again, you may try a similar brand if you are a risk taker or you can use sugar free Tang if you or any of your friends or family members are diabetic.
Next, add two cups of sugar or a sugar free sweetener like Splenda or Equal.
For your final step...see how quick and easy this is...add a packet of lemonade powder and mix everything together. Store the final mixture in plastic or glass containers. Whenever you want a great drink, heat a cup of water and add the mixture to suit your taste. Most folks like about two teaspoons full.
You will enjoy both the great taste and the wonderful orange color. And, as Amanda will tell you, it makes a great gift. - 15432
