Hot Spiced Tea Recipe

Cool weather activities call for warm drinks. Whether you are throwing a game day party at home, tailgating at the stadium, or taking the family to the pumpkin patch for an outdoor picnic, your guests will be cheery and snug when you serve this hot spiced tea. Remember the popular russian tea recipes made with powdered orange drink and instant tea? This beverage tastes even better, because you make it with brewed chai tea, real orange, lemon, and pineapple juices, and cinnamon sticks, fresh cloves, or mulling spices. This tea can be made in less than 30 minutes and can be served hot or cold, which means you can make it a day before your party or just minutes before your guests arrive. Pour into a thermos to transport to a party, serve warm in mugs immediately, or chill the tea and serve it later over ice. Sometimes a warm drink is all you need to chase the chill.
