How to Make Hot Spiced Tea Tang Based Aka Russian Tea

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add 1 orange, thinly sliced (or 1/4 cup dried orange peel), 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, and 1/2 cup of your choice of tea (black tea is traditional).
  3. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Remove from heat and let steep for an additional 10-15 minutes. This allows the spices to fully infuse the tea.
  5. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heatproof pitcher or container. Discard the solids.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy! Add a splash of milk or honey to taste.
