I'm a huge tea drinker, so I just couldn't pass this up. It probably would've been better if I'd had the ingredients it called for. Without orange juice or cloves in the house, I decided to take a stroll down to the supermarket. That plan backfired when a .6 oz. thing of cloves was 8 bucks and there were no small containers of O.j. I improvised using a little ground ginger and a sprinkle of nutmeg in place of the cloves and some very concentrated crystal light sunrise in place of the orange juice. Overall, it turned out alright.

I made this using Splenda instead and otherwise followed the directions. A lovely aromatic late night treat. Made an iced tea with the leftovers and thought that was even better than hot - the cooling time allowed the wonderful citrus to emerge more. Will certainly make this again playing more with the spices. Thinking a cardamom pod or two could be a good addition. Thanks!

I vaugely remember liking this from childhood and was excited to try it. My husband and I are big tea drinkers and really enjoyed this! Perfect blend of spices and the juice and sugar combo makes it! I left the pan setting on the stove (from four hours ago) and just reheat a cup in micro when needed (not bitter at all).I only wish I'd made this when we had colds last week! Thanks so much for posting. Roxygirl
