Directions
Russian Friendship Tea Mix, 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 , I love this fragrant and tasty tea It brings back wonderful memories! Does anyone know nutrition information such as the number of calories in one mug? Thank you, I made this to give as gifts for friends at our Girls Weekend As recommended I reduced sugar to 3/4 cup I also bought small decorative jars and made a gift tag with the instructions Thanks for a great tea and gift idea!
