Today was a good day to mix up our winter supply of hot water drinks.
My husband likes his "Russian" Tea.
The rest of us like Hot Cocoa.
Both are good for warming you up on a chilly day!
Hot Cocoa Mix
2 1/2 cups powdered milk
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons corn starch
1 cup cocoa powder
I fill the cup about a quarter to a third full of dry mix and then add boiling water.
Don't forget to top it off with marshmallows!
Russian Tea
Equal parts Tang (an instant orange flavored breakfast drink in powdered form) and lemon flavored ice tea mix
I just guess on the spices....sorry I can't be more specific.
Cinnamon
Allspice
Cloves
The gallon container I filled had 2 1/2 teaspoons of the allspice and cloves and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
He uses a cinnamon stick to stir it and that gives the drink even more cinnamon flavor.
