Russian Tea
I grew up drinking "Russian Tea". As kids we loved it, especially in the winter months western Montana gets a bit cold at that time of year. I hope that you enjoy it also. I have been to different parts of the country and have found the same basic recipe called Wassail, Orange Tea, and Orange Cider.
1 large container of orange drink beverage
1 3oz lemonade (the kind with sugar)
1c instant dry tea (I omit this as I don't want the caffeine)
1t cloves
1t cinnamon
Mix well and store in an air tight container. Use 2-3 spoonfuls in 8oz of hot water.
This makes great Christmas presents. I put them in canning jars one year with plaid ribbons around the top. My kids fought over the Russian Tea jars vs. the Cinnamon Cocoa jars. The drink is really nice when you have a cold and want "comfort" food.
