Russian Tea Recipe

[Ennis-TX]

Bit of a recipe from my grandmas kitchen. NOTE be careful  with mulling spices alot of them have barley in them, I use Spicely Organics, but I know someone else who has had success using a box of red hots in the top of the urn instead, I sometimes replace some of the water with more apple cider to reduce the needed sugar.  This was always a thing for my family back when we used to get together for the holidays.

2 cups boiling water
4 tea bags
2 cups orange juice
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup grape juice
4 cups apple cider
8 cups water
1 cup pineapple juice, adjust to taste
1/4 to 3/4 cup mulling spice, adjust to taste (You can sub red hots here)

1. Pour boiling water over tea bags; allow time to steep to desired strength.
2. Combine tea with remaining ingredients in coffee urn with mulling spice in the urn’s basket.
3. Brew and serve, add sugar to taste
