Easy Orange Creamsicle Hot Tea

MarthaStewartWanabe's Note:

This is an excruciatingly easy way to enjoy orange tea. It is simply hot orange tea with French vanilla coffee creamer powder added. When I was pregnant with my daughter and trying to avoid caffeine, this is the beverage on which I thrived.

Ooohh, this is very yummy and does indeed remind me of an Orange Creamsicle. I found that the tea curdled when I put in the Vanilla Coffee Creamer so I strained it before putting it in the tea cup. I used Celestial Seasonings orange tea. I bet this would make an excellent cold drink over crushed ice too. Made for Comfort Cafe 2010. Thx for sharing this.

This a rich and comforting tea! I added some splenda as I like my tea a bit sweeter. The creamer and the orange made a nice flavor combination - thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for My 3 Chefs, November 2009
