One of my favorite things…

Published by Christine under Christmas,cooking,tea

It has been a few years since I had/made Russian Tea ~ or as some may call it ~ Spice Tea! The thought hit me this past Saturday when I had some friends over that I should it for us! And a few of us added a shot of Brandy to the warm beverage that evening after fun Christmas doings with the kids all day!

The smell is amazing, the taste is great and the spices remind of me Christmas’ past!  I would make this a lot for teachers and friends alike when I was a kid!  And it is so simple to make!

Russian Tea/Spice Tea*
2 cups Tang Mix
1 1/2 cups Tea Mix (if with lemon or 1/2 cups tea mix if without)
1 cup Lemonade Mix (unless using tea with lemon flavor)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground clove
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Mix all ingredients together. Keep in a dry container or jar.
Mix 2 heaping teaspoons per cup ~ or add to taste.

*As with any recipe, it can always be adjusted to taste. Add the lemonade
mix to it even with the lemon flavored tea if your prefer. If not fond of
clove or nutmeg, leave out but keep the cinnamon!
*Can also be made with sugar-free mixes to help with the calories, etc.

ENJOY!!
