Russian Tea

This hot spiced tea is regularly requested by family members during the winter months. Why it's called "Russian" tea, I have no idea.  What I do know is that it tastes wonderful and is full of Vitamin C, helping to ward off colds and other maladies. 

I have a habit of saving containers, like the one in the photo, that I use to send this mix home with friends and relations. I also keep the powdered orange drink which I buy in the bulk, on hand in the pantry. Unless you can find instant iced tea that's non-caffeinated, you might not want to make this tea for young children.
I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't like this drink.
