Russian Tea

Back when we lived in Lincoln Court, Aunt Pauline passed along this recipe for

Russian Tea

3 quarts cold water
1 Tablespoon Whole Cloves
1 stick Cinnamon

Place in a cheesecloth bag and bring to a boil, and add

2 Tablespoons of tea in another bag

Simmer 7 minutes.

Take out bags and add

Juice of 3 oranges or 1/2 Cup orange juice
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons or 1/4 Cup lemon juice
1 Cup of sugar

Dad really got on the Russian Tea kick.  He started drinking it iced all year round, long before that was usually done. 
Before you all protest that this isn't what Dad made and drank as Russian tea, that's because it got "simplified" into this:

Russian Tea--Ralph's Recipe

1- 3 ounce jar of Instant Tea (Lipton's for authenticity)
1 - 12 ounce can of Wyler's lemonade
1 - 12 ounce jar of Tang 

Sweeten to taste.
