It’s here. Love it or hate it, it’s here.
 
Can't say I've ever used it.
My mum used to make weekly batches of what she called "spicy buns", for which she used mixed spice (always available in the groceries and supermarkets - still is). Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.
 
I remember a tea mix my mother made when I was a preteen and teen. IIRC, it had instant tea mix, Tang or something similar, and many of the pumpkin spices. It was a hot tea that she'd make at night when it was cold. It actually was pretty good to me then and easy to make since you could mix all the dry ingredients together in bulk beforehand, then just add to hot water.

I'll have to look and see if the recipe is still floating around.

My mom used to make that and I think it’s called Russian Friendship Tea.

Yep and there are lots of versions still floating around.

I wonder if I would still like it considering the chemicals in instant tea mix, Tang, and the lemonade mix that some versions add, given that I seem to taste the chemicals in highly processed food now.
