That's right---the astronaut's drink! This came from a 1974 Sure-Jell booklet. My kids enjoyed the jelly on toast, and they said their friends didn't believe it was made from a powdered drink. A definite conversation-piece!

  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup Tang orange crystals, powdered drink

One of the Boy Scouts in my troop can't go camping without having hot tang with breakfast in the morning. This is the perfect Christmas gift for him (and the rest of the scouts). This gelled really nicely and ended up making 6 1-2 pints of a gorgeous orange jelly.
