Russian Friendship Tea Mix
By: HeatherFeather

This is a delicious orangey tea that just smells wonderful! I portion out some of the mix in little holiday ziploc baggies to give as gifts at the holidays. I am always surpised how many people have never had this tea. I have used this recipe for 8 years and have had many positive comments. A nice way to present this tea is to fill a zip-plastic baggie with some of the tea mix and place in a gift mug. This is an instant version of the real Russian tea, which is more like a hot fruity tea punch. Imagine a warm, sweet spiced apple cider, only with a citrusy/orange taste instead. This will not taste like a brewed black tea.
4 cups mix
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar (or less, to taste)
- 2 cups instant Tang orange drink
- 1/2 cup sweetened iced tea mix powder
- 1 envelope unsweetened lemonade mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
1
Combine all ingredients well and store in an airtight container.2
To use, fill a mug with boiling water and stir in 2-3 teaspoons of mix, to taste.3
If all you can find is presweetened lemonade, then use the amount of dry mix needed for a 2 quart pitcher according to the package instructions and leave out the sugar.

Yum and delicious! I love Russian tea, and this was a great mix idea for gifts! I will be handing these out for Valentines Day! I only added 3/4 cup of sugar. It is such a warming and quick treat for these cold Wisconsin nights, but it is quite good cold too. Made and Reviewed for Comfort Cafe - Tea For Two - Thanks!

This was a lot like a favorite recipe from years ago. I did change a little: no added sugar, 2 cups UNsweetened ice tea powder, 1 container Crystal Light lemonade. It was plenty sweet and a lovely treat on a sub-zero afternoon! (Funny how everyone has different tastes about the sweetness - to each their own!)

We made this up and had some friends over and everyone just loved it!! It has a very nice orange, spicy flavor. Thanks for posting this recipe!

I have been making this recipe since college days, too. I had to twist arms to get the recipe, as the person did NOT have a Zaarian philosophy about sharing recipes! Another nice way to share this as a holiday gift is in a baby food jar. You can dress it up by tying a circle of holiday printed cloth over the lid with some ribbon. The kids always ask for this at the first sign of a cold. Think I'll put some in DS's next college care package.
