Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This drink is great.

I used to make Friendship Tea in the 1970's and I'm glad to say this is equal to the one I had. The only thing is you cannot find apricot Jell-O, at least in the winter time so I used, "Oregon Chai Spiced Original Chai Tea Latte Mix" and used 3 packets equal to 1/2 cup! It smells and taste so GOOD. ENJOY

I make this with sugar free Tang and Crystal Light powdered tea and lemonade along with the seasonings. It tastes just as good but has zero calories.
