"Is that part of the recipe?"

I am asked. "It's part of MY recipe," I answered as I grind old hard Tang and lemonade in the food processor." I live with nosy ingrates who obviously don't appreciate my economical efforts. I don't know why they are so concerned about what I am feeding them.

Here is another one.
Wassail Mix
3 c. sugar
1 c. Tang
1 1/2 c. lemonade (Country Time)
1 c. Instant Apple Drink
2 t. cinnamon
2 t. ground cloves
1 t. ginger

Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. Place 2 T. in a cup. Add one cut hot water.


This recipe made my crusty instant apple cider much better and I can use butter that is starting to sour.
Hot Buttered Apple Cider Mix

1 pound dark brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. ground cloves
1/4 t. ground nutmeg

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in spices. Place one heaping tablespoon in cup. Add hot apple cider. Can top with whipped cream. Of course in my case I had to make the apple cider from the packet first then add the butter mix.

If your apple cider is already spiced reduce or eliminate the spices if desired. ( and just add butter and sugar-yum! Come to think of it, let's live dangerously and add butter and more sugar to all the drinks).
