SPICED CITRUS TEA MIX

This is a great thing to keep in an office desk drawer for an easy afternoon pick-me-up with a little caffeine, some vitamin C, and less sugar than soda. If you put it in a pretty jar, it makes a nice gift. I got this recipe from my mom and changed it up a bit (made it less sweet). It's good hot or cold.
