Tips....

 -Make this sugar free by using sugar free Tang, sugar free iced tea powder, unsweetened Koolaid, and your favorite cup for cup sugar substitute. Be sure to leave the candies out! -Put the mix in Mason jars or other pretty jars and add a cute label. You can print this one that I've made if you like. -If you want the candies to dissolve better just give them a whirl in your blender until they are all chopped up before stirring them in the tea mixture. I like to leave them whole because I like how they look. -I like to garnish the cups with a slice of fresh orange. -You can simmer this in a slow cooker for a hot, holiday punch. Add some whole cloves and stick cinnamon. -Make this Christmas tea into a cocktail with an ounce or two of bourbon.
