Hot drinks, anyone?


After Rezzie ate what remained of my hot chocolate mix and spiced tea mix (I have a bright orange carpet stain to prove it), and the nighttime temps finally dropped into the 40's, I had to make more. Since I firmly believe my hot chocolate recipe is the best ever, (from my home away from home, Swan Lake Christian Camp) I'm sharing it here:
SLCC Hot Chocolate Mix
This makes a TON, as is appropriate for a camp. I usually half it. Below is the original recipe.

2 lb. Nestle's Quick
2 lb. powdered sugar
2 c. non-dairy creamer
8 c. powdered milk
2 pkg. instant chocolate pudding mix

Use about 1/4 cup per mug of hot water.

Spiced Tea Mix
I've heard this recipe go by everything from the above to Russian Tea, to Friendship Tea, and I'm sure there are more names...

1 pkg sweetened lemonade mix (3 oz) or enough mix to make one quart of lemonade
1 c. Tang
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. instant tea
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. cloves

Use about 1 T. of mix to a mug of hot water.

  1. I've never seen any other Christian camps that do half marathons. Very interesting.
