Russian Tea Recipe – Marty’s Musings
Ingredients:
– 1 cup black tea leaves
– 1 orange
– 1 lemon
– 1 cinnamon stick
– 5 cloves
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
– 6 cups water
Instructions:
1. Begin by brewing a strong pot of black tea. You can use your favorite black tea leaves or tea bags for this step.
2. As the tea steeps, prepare your citrus elements. Using a sharp knife, slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds. Leave the peels on for an extra burst of flavor.

4. Add the citrus rounds, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the tea mixture. These ingredients will infuse the tea with their vibrant flavors as it simmers.
5. Stir in the sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, adding more sugar if desired.
6. Pour in the water and bring the tea to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.
7. Turn off the heat and let the tea steep for an additional 5 minutes. This will ensure that every sip is packed with deliciously nuanced flavors.
8. Using a fine-mesh strainer, carefully strain the tea into a teapot or individual cups, removing the citrus rounds and spices.
9. Serve your Marty’s Musings Russian tea piping hot and enjoy the harmony of flavors that dance on your palate with each sip.
