What a wonderful recipe! I poured the steeped tea into the crock pot and stirred in the juices and used splenda. It was lovely. The amount of cloves was perfect. Thanks!

I vaugely remember liking this from childhood and was excited to try it. My husband and I are big tea drinkers and really enjoyed this! Perfect blend of spices and the juice and sugar combo makes it! I left the pan setting on the stove (from four hours ago) and just reheat a cup in micro when needed (not bitter at all).I only wish I'd made this when we had colds last week! Thanks so much for posting. Roxygirl

I made this using Splenda instead and otherwise followed the directions. A lovely aromatic late night treat. Made an iced tea with the leftovers and thought that was even better than hot - the cooling time allowed the wonderful citrus to emerge more. Will certainly make this again playing more with the spices. Thinking a cardamom pod or two could be a good addition. Thanks!

I'm a huge tea drinker, so I just couldn't pass this up. It probably would've been better if I'd had the ingredients it called for. Without orange juice or cloves in the house, I decided to take a stroll down to the supermarket. That plan backfired when a .6 oz. thing of cloves was 8 bucks and there were no small containers of O.j. I improvised using a little ground ginger and a sprinkle of nutmeg in place of the cloves and some very concentrated crystal light sunrise in place of the orange juice. Overall, it turned out alright.

Delicious! Nice strong cup of tea with a lovely blend of spices yet not too sweet. Best with fresh-squeezed juices. Instead of straining the spices right away, I like to let them float around at least until the tea is cooled for stronger flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
