On these cold winter days I just want to curl up with a hot drink and a good book. Russian Tea is one of my favorite winter drinks. My mom has made it as long as I can remember and now my sister and I are making it all of the time. It’s simple and warms you right up.

Russian Tea

 

Directions:
-3 QT. Water
– 8 tea bags (regular not family size)
– 2 cinnamon sticks
– 1 tsp. cloves
1. Bring ingredients to a boil and then turn off heat and let steep for 10 minutes
2. Add in
– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 3 cups orange juice
– 1/2 cup pineapple juice
– 4 teaspoon lemon juice
3. Heat up, serve and enjoy

Russian-Tea

I love this drink! I use decaffeinated tea bags because I gave up caffeine a couple years ago, yes call me crazy. But it works with either. Do you have a favorite hot drink during the winter? I’d love to hear what it is!

If you love a good warm drink in the winter be sure to check out my recipe for Hot Chocolate Mix. It makes a lot and you will always have hot chocolate on hand!

    I don’t drink tea but this looks like it could be awesome for the winter. Especially on those nights when it’s too cold to go outside!

    We received a powdered version of Russian Tea as a gift one year. I think it was made with Tang! It was very tasty and I imagine your version with orange juice (instead of Tang) would be delicious. Perfect for those cold winter days.

    This looks great! Sounds spices and wonderful. I’ve never heard of using juices with my tea before (except for a little twist of lemon). Thanks for a great recipe!
