Spiced tea is a traditional and much loved hot beverage in Russia. In the glory days of the tsars, it was served from gleaming silver samovars but, these days, a saucepan will do just fine. This is a traditional beverage for the Christmas holidays.
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 2 tablespoons clove (whole)
- 3 tablespoons orange zest (or tangerine)
- 4 whole cinnamon sticks
- 2 quarts water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Steps to Make It
-
Place the tea leaves, cloves, zest, and cinnamon sticks into a cheesecloth bag and tie the top tightly.
-
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add the bag, remove from the heat, and allow to steep, covered, for 10 minutes.
-
Add the honey & lemon juice and serve. This tea may be made in advance and kept for two to three days if it is covered and refrigerated.
