what size tea bags do you use?

Thanks Calla, this is exactly what I was wanting. If you haven't tried this recipe you should...it's sooo good. I even like it cold with ice. It also makes your house smell so good...especially over the holidays.

Thanks again

Here is a recipe I have, but I have never made it. Hope this is what you wanted!

OLD FASHIONED RUSSIAN TEA

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

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

I am looking for a recipe for Russian Tea. I don't want the one for the dry mix. It's one that you simmer all day with the tea and lots of spices and juices. I used to have the recipe my grandmother used. It is sooo good and I miss making it. Thanks so much
