Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Russian Tea Delight.
Step 1
To start your delightful tea creation, grab a large stockpot and bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling away, take it off the heat and gently add your tea bags.
Step 3
Let them steep for about 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse beautifully, then remove and discard the tea bags.
Step 4
In a separate pot, heat 1 cup of water until it reaches a boil.
Step 5
Stir in the sugar until it completely dissolves, creating a sweet syrup that will elevate your tea.
Step 6
Pour this sweetened water into the stockpot with your steeped tea, mixing it in well.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add some fruity goodness! Pour in the pineapple juice, thawed orange juice concentrate, and a splash of lemon juice, stirring everything together until well combined.
Step 8
For a touch of warmth and spice, place whole cloves in a tea ball and add it to the pot.
Step 9
Heat the mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes, keeping a close eye to ensure it doesn’t boil.
Step 10
Once those lovely aromas start to fill your kitchen, reduce the heat to very low and let the tea simmer gently for another 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 11
This is the moment when all those wonderful flavors meld together, creating a comforting and inviting beverage that’s perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying on your own.
