Russian Tea Mix

Russian Tea is a cozy, delicious citrus-tea mixture, enhanced with warm mulling spices. The mixture itself can be stored for months on the shelf. When ready to serve, simply add hot water and stir.

Mix all ingredients together.
Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use a dry, sugar-added plain lemonade mix, or use a dry unsweetened mix and add 2 cups of sugar. Do not add sugar with sweetened lemonade mix.

If black tea is something you choose to avoid, you can make Mock Russian Tea by simply leaving out the instant tea. It still tastes warm and cozy.
