Russian Tea Mix

I am not a gourmet purist. I do like some foods that use plenty of refined sugars, artificial colors, and processed ingredients, I must admit. One drink that I put in this category is a childhood favorite: Russian Tea. Drinking it evokes memories of days out sledding and then coming in to warm up, dry off, and have tea.

2 cups Tang or similar drink mix
2 cups sugar (1 1/2 will do)
1 packet lemon flavored Kool-Aid or similar
1/2 cup instant tea
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Mix all ingredients well. Store in an airtight container. Use about three teaspoons per mug of hot water.
