RUSSIAN TEA



Russian Tea image

I love this tangy beverage on a cold winter's morning when I want something tasty and hot, but don't want coffee! It makes a great gift from your kitchen, too! If calories are your concern, use an artificially sweetened orange drink mix, eliminate the sugar and sweeten to taste with sugar substitute.

MAMA'S OLD-FASHIONED RUSSIAN TEA



Mama's Old-Fashioned Russian Tea image

Our instant Russian Tea mixes with Tang and instant tea powder are good, but nothing can compare to coming in to the wonderful aroma of this old-fashioned beverage as it simmers on the stove! It brings back special memories of Christmas time when I was a child and this was our "special holiday treat" during World War II.

GRANDMA'S RUSSIAN TEA



Grandma's Russian Tea image

I grew up drinking this tea at my grandmother's house. I now fix it at my house on really cold days, when I am sick (lots of vitamin C!), and at Christmas. It is perfect to let simmer on the stove to make the house smell good and to serve to guests. I have no idea why its called 'Russian' tea; that is just what my grandmother always called it. Use any tea you like. I've used regular black tea, decaf, and cinnamon spice, and it's all great. If using spiced tea, you may want to adjust the amount of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. This is also great reheated!

NOT AUNT MARION'S RUSSIAN TEA



NOT Aunt Marion's Russian Tea image

Me, personally I had a hard time finding a recipe for Russian Tea that wasn't a dry mix. Love the dry mix, but I wanted the before Tang version as well. Before instant tea. Found this one, finally. But I was really, really wanting my husband's Aunt Marion's recipe. She is departed now, & I think that we can honor those by using their recipe & let the recipe not die with them. Posted it here so should be easy for anyone to find that version, if interested. I think both sound good. YAY! Got what I call the Wet version, TWO recipes now for Russian Tea.

Categories     Hot Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 12

HOT SPICE JUICES
5 cup(s) water
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
- juice of 4 oranges or 1 cup (aka *8 oz.) orange juice
- juice of 1 lemon or 3 tablespoons lemon juice
8 - whole cloves
2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
BREWING THE TEA STUFF
8 cup(s) water
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) loose black tea or about 4 tea bags
OPTIONAL TO GARNISH
- lemon or orange slices, or both

Steps:

  • HOT SPICE JUICES: Bring the Water to a boil. Add the Sugar, Orange Juice, Lemon Juice, Cloves & Cinnamon. Boil about 5 minutes.
  • BREWING THE TEA: Now bring the other Water to a boil in another pot, add your Loose Black Tea Leaves. Let it steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add your HOT SPICE JUICES s l o w l y to the brewed Tea until you reach your desired flavor & aroma. Sit back with friends & enjoy.
  • NOTE: I found it odd that with all the other ingredients used that ground cinnamon was used instead of a cinnamon stick. But I figure that if anyone wants to use a cinnamon stick with this, it is acceptable. Personally, I thought ground cinnamon was rude to the loose tea leave considering how hard it can be for me to find black loose tea leaves. So they deserve the best treatment, is how I see it. If I use tea bags, then I probably wouldn't feel guilty using the ground cinnamon.
