I love this recipe. In order to cut calories, I substituted sugar free french vanilla creamer, and splenda. It's still delicious! My daughter takes this to work with her everyday.

This was very good. I put the mix in glass jelly jars and gave as small gifts. One of the recipients asked for the recipe so she can make it to give as gifts this week, too!

This was great! Tastes and smells wonderful. I am so excited, to give it as gifts. I put individual servings in small zip locks w/ a pretty label on the bag w/ instructions! I found the unsweetended lipton at Wal-Mart!

Lipton still makes unsweetened tea mix. Their website can tell you were you can find it in your area. Lipton.com

I have also searched high and low for unsweetened instant tea and can not find it. Maybe they don't have it in Canada.

Oh, and one more thing... I am going to try it "Sugar Free" next time I make it... with Splenda and fat free/sugar free vanilla creamer. I'll post again to let everyone know how it goes!

I made this for an office party at my college, and man it was a huge hit all across campus! We've all decided that this mix is just as good or better than the drinks at many local coffee shops! I doubled the mix, and had enough to serve over 50 people.

I used Nestea's unsweetened instant tea. Delicious chai . . . also tasty with a little Amaretto!
