This recipe has been around for years. Though there are many versions they are all basically the same. It is know as Russian Tea, Friendship Tea, Christmas Tea and to many more to mention.

Time 15m

10-12 pt 1/2 pint jars (jelly jars)
12 medium paper doilies

Steps:

  • 1. Mix up all the ingredients in a very large bowl.
  • 2. Fill up your jars with mixture and embellish jars for the season you are making them for.
  • 3. This size batch will make 9 - 10 half pint jars. ***ADD TAG THAT SAYS: 2 heaping teaspoons of dry mix to one cup of hot water. Stir and enjoy.
  • 4. I made these jars to share at a monthly foodie swap. The ladies loved the tea. I made up a batch in my coffee pot at home and mixed it up well so cinnamon candies would melt and then poured into my carafe. --- These make wonderful gifts as well & I look forward to making another batch soon.

RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP TEA MIX



Russian Friendship Tea Mix image

This is a delicious orangey tea that just smells wonderful! I portion out some of the mix in little holiday ziploc baggies to give as gifts at the holidays. I am always surprised how many people have never had this tea. I have used this recipe for 8 years and have had many positive comments. A nice way to present this tea is to fill a zip-plastic baggie with some of the tea mix and place in a gift mug. This is an instant version of the real Russian tea, which is more like a hot fruity tea punch. Imagine a warm, sweet spiced apple cider, only with a citrusy/orange taste instead. This will not taste like a brewed black tea. The lemonade mix called for is one tiny packet, enough to make a 2 quart size pitcher (although you only use the mix dry). If you are subbing in sugar-free versions of any ingredients (which do work just fine) be aware that they will weigh less than anything made with sugar, so measuring by volume (such as US type cups and spoons) is key here if you are converting the recipe.
