I am a little late with my Tuesday blog due to Christmas activities at my house. I hope each one of you has enjoyed time with family and/or friends over the holiday period (or will enjoy if you haven’t celebrated yet). Many thanks to Amy Anguish for sharing a favorite recipe from her childhood. If you missed my interview with her last Thursday, check it out.
Russian Tea
2 cups Tang
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup instant tea
1 small box pineapple-orange jello (lately I’ve only been able to find the pineapple kind)
2 small pkgs or 1 large pkg lemonade
1/2 to 1 T ground cloves
1/2 to 1 T cinnamon
Mix all together. For an even better mix, run through a food processor for a finer grind that will dissolve better. Store in glass container. Add 4 tsp to 1 cup boiling water and enjoy.
Life As I know it 
I make Russian Tea also, but it’s completely different from yours…no Tang, no instant tea, no jello! Ha! I’ve always wondered why it’s called Russian tea, too. The kind I had and loved as a child was red, but I’ve never found a recipe called Russian Tea that’s red. I made it three times this year from Thanksgiving through Christmas.
