AUNT DOROTHY'S RUSSIAN TEA



Aunt Dorothy's Russian Tea image

When I was growing up I always looked forward to the Russian Tea that my Aunt Dorothy made every Christmas Eve. As soon as the weather turned chilly, I would start longing for a hot, steamy cup. It wasn't unitl I was away at college that I finally thought to ask her for the recipe! I place the whole cloves into a tea ball strainer so they're easy to remove when the tea is ready. If you don't have a tea ball, you can place the cloves in cheesecloth as directed. -Sharon Flenniken, Charlotte, North Carolina

RUSSIAN TEA RECIPE



Russian Tea Recipe image

This Russian Tea Recipe from the 70's is a classic drink made with Tang, instant tea, and spices. Serve piping hot or over ice.

Provided by Kim - Today's Creative Life

Categories     Drinks

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 Cups unsweetened Instant Tea Powder
2 Cups Tang (or orange powder drink mix)
1 Tablespoon Lemonade Powder Mix - use sweetened or unsweetened.
2 C. Sugar
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Mixing all of this creates quite a bit of dust. I decreased this problem by using a gallon size ziploc bag.
  • Pour all ingredients into your plastic bag. Of course a large bowl will also work.
  • Mix ingredients well, either stirring or shaking it around in a well sealed ziplock bag.
  • Store in the baggie or in any container that keeps moisture out.
  • Mix 3 to 4 tablespoons of your new mixture into your mug or glass of hot water or cold water, about 1 cup. Adjust accordingly.

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!

HOT SPICED TEA (TANG-BASED, AKA RUSSIAN TEA)



Hot Spiced Tea (Tang-Based, Aka Russian Tea) image

This powdered hot tea mix flavored with orange, cloves, and cinnamon has been a favorite of mine since childhood... and is now a favorite inexpensive gift for friends and family. Our family can't go through fall or winter without it! (The vitamin C, cinnamon, and cloves are all proven germfighters, too!)

Provided by Fuzzys Finds

Categories     Beverages

Time 5m

Yield 2 3/4 cups, 35 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 ounces tang powdered drink mix (one full tub)
1/3 cup instant tea (I use the kind with lemon)
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or 3 if you like it sweeter)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients thoroughly. A food processor makes this effortless, but I managed with a blender for years, and have even stirred it together by hand when necessary-- although it's not quite as pretty when done that way.
  • To enjoy: stir 2-3 heaping teaspoons into a mug of hot water and adjust to suit your own taste. Ahhh!
  • This mix starts to harden in the jar after six months or so, so drink up! Servings and Yield are approximations only.
