Russian Tea

I made this for DH because he has been drinking so much Lipton Citrus tea. We both thought this is great, either hot or cold. Loved the cinnamon flavor it imparts. Will have to stock up on lemon and pineapple juice.

UPDATE: I rated this as excellent in Nov'07 when we first made it ... lots of people have asked for the recipe & we've made quite a few jugs of it over the course of the winter. BUT! Today I completely forgot to add the sugar and you know what? It was still VERY delicious so I have decided to omit the sugar from now on, and let everyone in the family sweeten their own mug according to their preference when they are warming up their tea. Thanks again! This is now a regular item in our frig.

When you have a cold nothing is as comforting as a mug of spiced tea. I am used to making Russian Tea, but never before with pineapple juice (you can really taste it!). I used orange Tropicana (from the carton) and halved the recipe using 2 Lipton tea bags. Thanks Wenstar, for posting. I will be making this again! Roxygirl

This is the Russian Tea recipe that I have been looking for. If you are sick, make this, and drink a steaming cup full. Wrap up in blankets after drinking. You will definitely sweat out your problem. Worked for me. I had bronchitis. took this on Fri evening and all day Sat. and felt better Sun.

This looks remarkably similar to mine. I misplaced my recipe and came on here to find it. The only difference is that we use grapefruit juice instead of orange juice. This is great in the winter. Our whole family drinks it when they're sick...which is why I'm on here today. My husband has a cold and needs his comfort food! It's so in demand that I make a big batch and then send it with our college friends when they go back to school. Now even their roommates look forward to it. Oh, and the instant version is not near as good to me!
