1 large jar Tang
2 cups sugar
1 package lemonade mix
1 cup instant tea
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 small bag red hots

RICE PILAF MIX

1 cup long-grain, converted rice
Flavor Packet
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups hot water

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Saute the rice, stirring
constantly, until it takes on a translucent quality; do not let the kernels pop.
Slowly stir in the water, then the Flavor Packet; bring to a full boil; cover and
lower heat. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until nearly all of liquid is absorbed and
the rice looks just a bit too moist to serve. Turn off heat and let stand for 10
minutes before uncovering and serving.
Each recipe makes one flavor packet. Also, these recipes are meant for bouillon
cubes that mix with 8 oz. of water. If you prefer to substitute bouillon cubes that
mix with 6 oz. of water, or powder, you will need to figure the differences
accordingly. Three 8 oz. cubes equal four 6 oz. cubes.
