Russian Tea
Does anyone have a good Russian Tea recipe? I have the powdered one with Tang and have one off the internet that uses orange juice, pineapple juice and apple juice but it taste a little watery.
|
Sorry, never heard of it but I'm interested, it sounds good. I went to Russia once and it wasn't offered anywhere, guess this is the American version?
|
My first thought was vodka.....but guess not.....waiting to see answer...
|
It is also called spiced tea. I have the same recipe with tang in it. Do they still make tang?
|
Yes, they still make Tang. One of my sons really likes this and I just made him a batch. One cup each of Tang and lemon-flavored ice tea. The original recipe calls for one cup of sugar, too but I think the tea must have sugar. Then cinnamon and cloves...to taste. Put 2 T in mug and add hot water....enjoy!!

My recipe is year's old. 1 cup instant tea, 1 cup Tang or Wyler's Lemonade mix, 2 cups sugar, and 1 tsp. ground cinnamon and 1 tsp. ground cloves. Mix well and store away from moisture. Put a couple of spoonfuls in mug and add hot water. Stir and add more mix, if needed.

Mmmm, Russian Tea. Haven't had that for years. My recipe is similar to the one angelmama22 uses. I stopped making it because I can't buy Tang in Canada.

Gosh, what memories that brought back! I used to always have a container of mix at my house and in my desk at work. If memory serves me correctly I mixed Tang (or the generic equivalent), Iced tea with lemon, a bit of cinnamon and a tiny bit of cloves. I can't remember if I added any other spices. But, I am going to mix some up now and experiment. Thanks for stirring up the far corners of my brain!
|
mine is like those above except I leave out the cloves. Having a cup of Russian tea when I was growing up was a special treat. Life was a lot simpler then .
|
brings back some good memories.
|
Mine is also with tang...
|
I also had a recipie with tang but did not know it was called Russian tea. I have not made it in many years.
|
Am off to find my 'old' recipe. I forgot all about it. Will put it in with the goodie bags for my neighbors. I think I'll have to put some together for us too.
|
This sounds good. I've never heard of it. Might have to buy some Tang tomorrow. Thanks!
