Russian Tea

Fat-Free, Low Sodium, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free,

 

Thanks to our reader for requesting a makeover for this traditional

holiday favorite. She explains, " This recipe has been a favorite holiday treat

within my family for generations (passed from my grandmother to mother and then

to me). A large cup always reminds me of home and the magic of the holiday

season. However, I try to buy and eat all things organic now and this tea just

doesn't fit the bill. It would be wonderful to be able to enjoy this tea and

keep within my organic philosophies. " We certainly agree. To update it, we

replaced the powdered orange drink mix and sweetened powdered tea with orange

juice and black tea. Whole spices and some sugar add just the right warmth and

sweetness.

 

 

 

Serves 6

a.. 6 cups cold water

b.. 1 cinnamon stick

c.. 6 whole cloves

d.. 4 black tea bags

e.. 1 cup orange juice

f.. 2 TB lemon juice

g.. 1/4 cup sugar, more to taste

h.. 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Bring water, cinnamon stick and cloves to a boil in a medium

saucepan; remove from heat and add tea bags. Steep, covered, for 5 minutes.

Discard the tea bags and whole spices.

 

In a small saucepan, heat orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and

nutmeg. Warm until the sugar dissolves.

 

Add the juice mixture to the tea. Taste and add more sugar if

desired. Reheat and serve.
