Autumn Tea
I've been serving beverages made with various flavors of tea at gatherings, and people are always surprised by the results. This blend features flavors we associate with fall - apple, cranberry and pumpkin pie spice. Serve it either warm or cold. -Sandra McKenzie, Braham, Minnesota

I'd used 6 cups boiling water with 6 tea bags. I had not apple juice at that time, so I'd used 5 packets of spiced cider mix. I'd used in addition to the lemon juice and sugar, 3/4 cup frozen lemonade concentrate. I did use pumpkin pie spice! This recipe I had prepared when it came out for Taste of Home-it goes back 15 to 16 years ago! I've prepared it since that time as well! It's a really nice beverage and I thank you for this recipe, Sandra McKenzie!
This tea is so yummy that I serve it at Christmas and called it my Christmas Tea.
This is a great fall drink. I substitute the no sugar apple juice with regular apple juice and omit adding sugar in the recipe. It's perfect.
This has a refreshing harvest flavor. If you want more of a cider, prepare as directed. If you want more of a tea, double tea, water, sugar, and spice. I made pumpkin pie spice using a recipe I found on the internet and spices already on the shelf. Mary
Pretty but too sweet for me. BEWARE there is a whopping 32 g sugar per serving, 33 g carbs, and 130 calories. The nutritional analysis is not for the recipe as prepared. The analysis should reflect the recipe and should be rewritten. Some diabetics rely on its accuracy, and this is misleading at a glance.
I served this with my Thanksgiving dinner and it was a hit!
This drink is excellent and we will be making it many more times. We are also keeping this recipe.
Very yummy, will make again.
Delicious!Guests loved it. I will serveagain at Thanksgiving. Kid friendly too.
