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:

  • Choose the right lemons: Use fresh, ripe lemons for the best flavor. Look for lemons that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Wash the lemons thoroughly: Before zesting or juicing the lemons, wash them thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap. This will remove any dirt or pesticides from the skin.
  • Use a sharp knife: When zesting the lemons, use a sharp knife or a Microplane zester. This will help you remove only the outer layer of the peel, which is where the most flavor is concentrated.
  • Juice the lemons carefully: To get the most juice out of the lemons, roll them on a hard surface before cutting them in half. Then, use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. Don't squeeze the lemons with your hands, as this can make the juice bitter.
  • Use a glass jar or container: Store the spiced lemonade concentrate in a glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. This will help to preserve the flavor and prevent the concentrate from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Spiced lemonade concentrate is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy lemonade all year long. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to enjoy a glass of lemonade, simply mix the concentrate with water and add ice. You can also use the concentrate to make other drinks, such as cocktails, mocktails, and smoothies. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and flavorful drink, give spiced lemonade concentrate a try!
