Do you remember a concoction that we used to drink called Russian Tea? It was made with Tang, and I remember drinking it back in high school and college… so it had to be pretty popular back in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Well, I tracked down an old recipe and thought I’d have a cup… or two… or three. Some recipes call for instant lemonade to be added, but the version I used to drink didn’t include lemonade…
1-1/3 cups Tang Orange Flavor Drink Mix
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup instant tea (unsweetened 100% tea)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
Mix Tang, sugar, tea and spices in medium bowl. Store in tightly covered jar. For 1 serving, place 1 Tbsp. mix in large cup or mug. Add 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir until mix is dissolved.
Note… to make this a wee bit healthier, you could always substitute sugar-free Tang and Splenda for the regular Tang and sugar.
