Even if you have never visited Southwest Louisiana, you probably know about the Cajuns and how much food and drink are a part of their culture. Amanda is a late-twenties Cajun…a career woman and mother…who gives away gallons of her spiced tea mix during the Christmas season.
Her tea is better than a visit from Santa. And, it is really easy 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, pour two cups of sugar or a sugar free sweetener into the bowl containing the powdered tea and the Tang.
Then, add a packet of dry lemonade mix and combine everything. You can store the final mixture in plastic or glass. When you’re ready for a great warm drink, microwave a cup of water and add the tea mixture to suit your taste.
You will enjoy both the great taste and the wonderful orange color. And, as Amanda will tell you, it makes a great gift.
