• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Meant to add this a few days ago:

It’s here. Love it or hate it, it’s here.
 
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.
