I have to say that I am totally looking forward to the warm-up this weekend! It's about time that this snow melts. I am so SICK of it!
Anywho, I thought I would do a little post on Russian Tea. It's a mixture of various things that you may or may not have in your pantry.
Recipe for Russian Tea:
2 cups Tang
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup instant tea
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves or nutmeg
Combine all ingredients in a container that you will store it in (i.e. Tupperware), seal it tightly with the lid and shake it to mix it up. Be careful as you open the container, as there could be a dust storm billowing out once you take off the lid.
To make it to my taste, I cut out about 1/3 cup of sugar, use a full container of Tang, and I also do 1/4 tsp cloves and a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg.
I had the hardest time finding Tang, which was annoying, but I found it at Wal-Mart...eventually. So, I bought two containers of it, so that I would have plenty of this Russian tea on hand.
To drink, put some of the mixture (enough for your taste) in a mug. Boil some water and add it to a mug. Stir until dissolved. I find it easier to stir & dissolve by putting the tea mixture in first, then adding the water. You can always add some more of the mixture if it isn't strong enough. My ratio is 3 tablespoons Russian tea in a "regular-sized" coffee mug and fill the mug close to the top with boiling water.
A couple pictures of the mixture are below. Let me know what you think!
Yum!
