Its been warm enough the last few days for this...
And this...
And words can't express what it's done for my soul.
But the weight of winter is still so there. The windows are shut and I'm still every day summoning my reserves to keep grouchy gills from overtaking this home.
If true love can thaw a frozen heart, then these two tea mixes are True Love.
Chai Tea Mix:
3 c. dry milk powder
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. unsweetened instant tea
3/4 c. vanilla powdered creamer
2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. ground cloves
Orange Spice Tea Mix:
2 c. sugar
2 c. Tang
1/2 c. unsweetened instant tea

Store them in an airtight container. Use a few hearty scoops in a mug of warm water for each.
Best with leg warmers and in the company of a good fat cat.
