I've been drinking this warm tea in the winter since I was little. We call it Spice Tea, but I've also heard it referred to as Russian Tea. If you make a big batch in the fall, you'll have enough to drink until daffodils start blooming! It also makes for nice holiday gifts. Here's the recipe:
2 cups Tang
1 1/2 cups instant tea
1 cup powdered lemonade
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix together. Store in airtight container. Add approximately 2 tsp. per cup of hot water. More or less to taste.
Found you via Bella Dia today... You know what makes Russian Tea PERFECT? The addition of Red Hots. It just isn't Russian Tea without Red Hots, but I have no idea why. It's not like Red Hots (or any of the rest of it) are inherently Russian... but it's just never been right for me unless there are Red Hots mixed throughout. Mmmmm.
