HOT SPICED TEA (TANG-BASED, AKA RUSSIAN TEA)



Hot Spiced Tea (Tang-Based, Aka Russian Tea) image

This powdered hot tea mix flavored with orange, cloves, and cinnamon has been a favorite of mine since childhood... and is now a favorite inexpensive gift for friends and family. Our family can't go through fall or winter without it! (The vitamin C, cinnamon, and cloves are all proven germfighters, too!)

Provided by Fuzzys Finds

Categories     Beverages

Time 5m

Yield 2 3/4 cups, 35 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 ounces tang powdered drink mix (one full tub)
1/3 cup instant tea (I use the kind with lemon)
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or 3 if you like it sweeter)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients thoroughly. A food processor makes this effortless, but I managed with a blender for years, and have even stirred it together by hand when necessary-- although it's not quite as pretty when done that way.
  • To enjoy: stir 2-3 heaping teaspoons into a mug of hot water and adjust to suit your own taste. Ahhh!
  • This mix starts to harden in the jar after six months or so, so drink up! Servings and Yield are approximations only.

Tips for Making Lemon-Spiced Tea

  • Choose high-quality tea leaves or tea bags. Loose-leaf tea will generally give you a better flavor, but tea bags are more convenient.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and ginger. This will give your tea the best flavor.
  • Be careful not to overheat the tea. If the water is too hot, it will make the tea bitter.
  • Steep the tea for at least 5 minutes, but no longer than 10 minutes. This will give the tea time to develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the tea hot or iced. You can also add honey, sugar, or milk to taste.

Conclusion

Lemon-spiced tea is a refreshing and flavorful beverage that can be enjoyed hot or iced. It is a good source of antioxidants and can help to boost your immune system. With its combination of tart lemon, warm spices, and soothing ginger, lemon-spiced tea is a perfect way to relax and unwind.
