OLD FASHIONED RUSSIAN TEA

2 qts. boiling water
4 sticks cinnamon
1 tsp. whole cloves
4 tea bags

Bring water to boil in large enamel kettle with lid. Add spice and tea bags and steep 5 minutes. Strain, then add:

3 c. sugar
1 qt. orange juice
5 lemons, juiced
3 oranges, juiced

If clear tea is desired, strain juiced first. Serve hot.

I make this tea every year for Christmas. For some extra kick, I add those little red hots in it, they melt and just add extra flavor.

Thanks a bunch!!! :)

Anyone have the ingredients for Russian Tea? Husband has never had it although I have numerous times. He loves hot tea and I'd like to make this for him. I can't remember exactly what's in it.

Thanks!!
