Friday's recipe (12/14/12) - Aimee Fortney's spicy tea

Food makes great gifts for everyone on your list! This spiced tea mixture makes about 6-8 jars to give away. Add a pretty mug, (some wine) and a note of appreciation as you give this gift to people on your list! Also, think about giving your children's teachers, your neighbors and your friends a homemade dinner as a gift!

AIMEE FORTNEY'S SPICED TEA

1/2 cup instant tea
2 cups TANG
1 package sweetened lemonade
1 teaspoon ground gloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups sugar
 
Mix well and store in an air tight container (if keeping for yourself) or pour into individual jars to give away.  To serve:  Add 2 heaping teaspoons to a cup of boiling water.

AIMEE FORTNEY'S DINNER & WINE GIFT

Using your imagination or craft skills, print a pretty dinner certificate of homemade dinner options to give to teachers, friends and neighbors. Purchase a large box of Black Box wine and place a pretty bow on top to give with the gift certificate, or the smaller "juice box" sizes of Black Box wine; because even teachers love wine! Dinner certificate example:

Choose from your dinner options below:

Meatloaf, scalloped potatoes and green beans
Lasagna, salad and bread
Chicken enchiladas, rice and black beans

Choose from a dessert:
Key lime pie
Triple chocolate cake
