Another drink mix – they really did love their drink mixes in the MidCentury!
This mix is very similar to the other drink mix I made a few months back – the Calico Tea.
This mix is a bit more subtle though. It isn’t quite so acidic as the other.
You do get the orange flavor from the Tang, and a hint of the lemon from the lemonade mix.
Adding the sugar gives it a bit of sweetness that is nice.
It does have a nice soothing effect on the throat. I think this would be a great drink for when you are feeling a little under the weather.
Not that it wouldn’t be great anytime . . .
