Todd'S Russian Tea - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 - 2 cups white sugar
1 (12 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
15 teaspoons loose tea (or 3 family-size teabags)
5 quarts fresh preferably bottled water
Preparation
-
Place 3 qts of water in a large pot, and add cloves and cinnamon sticks.
Bring water to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 25 minutes.
Remove from the heat and place a mesh tea-infusion basket of tea (or 3 teabags) into the pot. Steep tea for only 5 minutes.
After removing the tea-infusion basket or teabags, add sugar to the pot and stir until it dissolves.
Add cans of concentrate, plus 2 qts of water.
Bring the whole mixture up to temperature and serve hot.
This tea refrigerates well for a few days with the cloves and cinnamon sticks removed. Always serve hot, though.
