SUGAR-FREE SPICED TEA (RUSSIAN) TEA



Sugar-Free Spiced Tea (Russian) Tea image

Yes, there are a couple of recipes here at Zaar for this wonderful mix, but I didn't see any with specifics and I think one used sugar-free Tang, which I cannot find anywhere. So, I gave up. One day, I came across this and EUREKA! I had to post because you CAN find all the ingredients at Walmart Super Centers, and most any market that sells Crystal Light. Isn't that WONDERFUL?? SO...diabetics rejoice and enjoy the holidays!

PINEAPPLE ORANGE RUSSIAN TEA



Pineapple Orange Russian Tea image

The absolute BEST remedy for a cold! This is a bit different from most Russian tea recipes, much tastier in my opinion. But I'm partial since it's my mom's recipe! Delicious served hot or cold. It also freezes well. It makes such a big batch--I generally put 1 pitcher in the fridge and 1 in the freezer.

RUSSIAN TEA

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.

DELICIOUS RUSSIAN TEA



Delicious Russian Tea image

When I was a kid, my Mom would always make this for me when I was sick. It is warm and soothing, and gives you a full day's worth of vitamin C due to the citric acid in the Tang (just like the astronauts drink!) and lemonade mix. Moms are a sneaky and underhanded bunch, but we love them anyway.
