Aunt Marions Russian Tea Recipes

GRANDMA'S RUSSIAN TEA

I grew up drinking this tea at my grandmother's house. I now fix it at my house on really cold days, when I am sick (lots of vitamin C!), and at Christmas. It is perfect to let simmer on the stove to make the house smell good and to serve to guests. I have no idea why its called 'Russian' tea; that is just what my grandmother always called it. Use any tea you like. I've used regular black tea, decaf, and cinnamon spice, and it's all great. If using spiced tea, you may want to adjust the amount of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. This is also great reheated!

AUNT DOROTHY'S RUSSIAN TEA

When I was growing up I always looked forward to the Russian Tea that my Aunt Dorothy made every Christmas Eve. As soon as the weather turned chilly, I would start longing for a hot, steamy cup. It wasn't unitl I was away at college that I finally thought to ask her for the recipe! I place the whole cloves into a tea ball strainer so they're easy to remove when the tea is ready. If you don't have a tea ball, you can place the cloves in cheesecloth as directed. -Sharon Flenniken, Charlotte, North Carolina

RUSSIAN TEA

I love this tangy beverage on a cold winter's morning when I want something tasty and hot, but don't want coffee! It makes a great gift from your kitchen, too! If calories are your concern, use an artificially sweetened orange drink mix, eliminate the sugar and sweeten to taste with sugar substitute.

NOT AUNT MARION'S RUSSIAN TEA

Me, personally I had a hard time finding a recipe for Russian Tea that wasn't a dry mix. Love the dry mix, but I wanted the before Tang version as well. Before instant tea. Found this one, finally. But I was really, really wanting my husband's Aunt Marion's recipe. She is departed now, & I think that we can honor those by using their recipe & let the recipe not die with them. Posted it here so should be easy for anyone to find that version, if interested. I think both sound good. YAY! Got what I call the Wet version, TWO recipes now for Russian Tea.

Steps:

HOT SPICE JUICES: Bring the Water to a boil. Add the Sugar, Orange Juice, Lemon Juice, Cloves & Cinnamon. Boil about 5 minutes.
BREWING THE TEA: Now bring the other Water to a boil in another pot, add your Loose Black Tea Leaves. Let it steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add your HOT SPICE JUICES s l o w l y to the brewed Tea until you reach your desired flavor & aroma. Sit back with friends & enjoy.
NOTE: I found it odd that with all the other ingredients used that ground cinnamon was used instead of a cinnamon stick. But I figure that if anyone wants to use a cinnamon stick with this, it is acceptable. Personally, I thought ground cinnamon was rude to the loose tea leave considering how hard it can be for me to find black loose tea leaves. So they deserve the best treatment, is how I see it. If I use tea bags, then I probably wouldn't feel guilty using the ground cinnamon.

Ingredients

HOT SPICE JUICES
5 cup(s) water
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
- juice of 4 oranges or 1 cup (aka *8 oz.) orange juice
- juice of 1 lemon or 3 tablespoons lemon juice
8 - whole cloves
2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
BREWING THE TEA STUFF
8 cup(s) water
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) loose black tea or about 4 tea bags
OPTIONAL TO GARNISH
- lemon or orange slices, or both

RUSSIAN TEA WITH FRUIT

This tea uses preserved fruit to give it added sweetness and taste. The lemon helps balance out the sweet. You can substitute strawberry or raspberry preserves if you prefer. Using loose tea allows the leaves to steep better. Don't use a delicate tea for this. Adapted from the New Settlement Cookbook.

AUNT MARION'S RUSSIAN TEA

Literally, my husband's aunt would make this. Considering many recipes out there that are a dry mix and they are wonderful...I wanted her's that is not a dry version. Finally got it tonight when I fed her daughter. Compared it to one I finally found online & they are similar but there are differences. I will be posting the one I found online as well. No matter how you fix Russian Tea, it is great beverage when you are sick. I like to take a safe to use cup and won't break, to a tub of hot as I can stand it water. Soak & sip on Russian Tea. Then go to bed. And I do feel lil better afterwards.
