AUNT MARION'S RUSSIAN TEA



Aunt Marion's Russian Tea image

Literally, my husband's aunt would make this. Considering many recipes out there that are a dry mix and they are wonderful...I wanted her's that is not a dry version. Finally got it tonight when I fed her daughter. Compared it to one I finally found online & they are similar but there are differences. I will be posting the one I found online as well. No matter how you fix Russian Tea, it is great beverage when you are sick. I like to take a safe to use cup and won't break, to a tub of hot as I can stand it water. Soak & sip on Russian Tea. Then go to bed. And I do feel lil better afterwards.

RUSSIAN TEA

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.

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your tea will taste. Look for loose-leaf tea that is fresh and flavorful. You can also use tea bags, but loose-leaf tea will give you a more robust flavor.
  • Measure your tea leaves carefully: The amount of tea leaves you use will determine the strength of your tea. For a light tea, use 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per cup of water. For a stronger tea, use 2 teaspoons of tea leaves per cup of water.
  • Steep your tea for the right amount of time: The steeping time will also affect the strength of your tea. For black tea, steep for 3-5 minutes. For green tea, steep for 2-3 minutes. For herbal tea, steep for 5-10 minutes.
  • Use filtered or spring water: Hard water can make your tea taste bitter. If you have hard water, filter it or use spring water instead.
  • Serve your tea hot or cold: Russian tea can be served hot or cold. If you are serving it hot, heat the water to just below boiling (about 195 degrees Fahrenheit). If you are serving it cold, brew the tea as usual and then let it cool completely.

Conclusion:

Russian tea is a delicious and refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed hot or cold. With a variety of flavors to choose from, there is sure to be a Russian tea that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a new tea to try, give Russian tea a try.
