Cute Gift Packing With Spice Tea

27th October 2014

 

I’m sure other people on planet earth drink spice tea, but I never hear anyone talk about it.  It’s a long stand by at Christmas in our family and it’s yummy in my tummy.

Right now at Target in the one spot aisle, you can get a two pack of these awesome glass milk bottles for 3 dollars.  You can also get mason jars which you saw me use in the DIY snow globe tutorial and for this gift idea here.  I wanted to stray a bit from the jars and use these bottles because they steal my heartstrings.  Milk bottles are used less than the ever popular mason jars these days.

I made the tags and embellishments using washi tape, bakers twine, scrapbook sticker letters and two paper straws from Hobby Lobby.  You can buy these straws at Mighty Dollar by the packs so I would go there.  Way better than the Hobby Lobby deal.  It would be really cute to attach a recipe card to the jar as well but hey, can win them all.

This is a cute appreciation gift for a teacher or a nice “I love you”/ “Just because” gift for a friend. Really,  it’s a nice cozy gift for anyone and they can use the jar again so double score for this awesome jar!  You can double/triple this recipe and make a few of these suckers as gifts.  There she blows, folks!

    In this recipe, did you put the red hots in there whole? I cannot see them in the jar in the picture. I wondered if you put all of this in a food processor to mix it up or just simply mixed it all together in a bowl. Looking for Christmas gift ideas and want to try this. Thanks.

      Hey! I use whole ones in the mix and leave them whole when I make the drink. They melt mostly gone by the end of a hot cup! Glad you like the idea and equally glad, I’m not the only one who thinks of Christmas already haha. Thanks for looking! -Rebecca 😉
