Russian Tea

  • 2 1/2 cups pineapple Juice
  • juice of 6 oranges & 3 lemons
  • 8 whole cloves
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 quarts water, divided
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 teabags

Simmer 1 quart of water, sugar, cinnamon & cloves for 5 minutes. In a separate pan, simmer 1 quart of water with the teabags- do not boil. Then mix together with all the juices. Simmer & serve hot.

To me, this is what Christmas ‘smells’ like. My mom & my husband’s mom made this when we were growing up..so it brings back a lot of great memories when we make it together now for our children to share with us.
