I grew up drinking this Russian tea with pineapple juice at my grandmother’s house. I now fix it at my house on really cold days, at Christmas, when I have guests over, or when I am sick (for the vitamin C). It’s perfect to let simmer on the stove to make the house smell good. I have no idea why it is called Russian tea; that is just what my grandmother always called it. This is also great reheated.
Ingredients
- 2 family-sized tea bags
- 1 quart boiling water
- 1 ½ quarts water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 (12 ounce) can pineapple juice
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 (6 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
Directions
Step 1
Steep tea bags in boiling water until tea is of desired strength, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags.
Step 2
Combine 1 1/2 quarts water, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a large pot; bring to a boil.
Step 3
Add brewed tea, pineapple juice, sugar, orange juice and lemonade concentrates, and allspice to the boiling water; stir until sugar dissolves.
Step 4
Serve immediately, or reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer until ready to serve.
Tips
Use any tea you like. I've used regular black, decaf, and cinnamon spice teas, and they're all great. If you used a spiced tea, you may want to adjust the amount of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.
