My friend MamaMentor graciously emailed me this alternate recipe for Russian Tea that she uses. Her recipe and comments follow.
Mrs. Brantley's Spice Tea Mix
1 C. Tang
1 C. sugar
1 C. instant tea powder
1 tsp. cinnamon (or to taste)
1/2 tsp. ground cloves (or to taste)
1 small package lemonade mix (the kind that makes 2 quarts)
Mix together and keep in an airtight container. Add a couple of heaping spoonfuls to a cup of hot water and stir.
I often give this as a gift at Christmas time. Mrs. Brantley was my "dorm mother" in college.

I've had this before, but I've heard it called "Russian Tea."
ReplyDeleteDon't know why. Don't know if Russians have Tang.
