- Once boiling, remove from heat and immediately add 4 tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf black tea).
- Cover and let steep for 5 minutes to allow the tea to infuse with the spices.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe pitcher or teapot, discarding the tea leaves and spices.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Heat the juice mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Pour the warm juice mixture into the strained tea.
- Taste the tea and add more sugar if desired to adjust sweetness.
- Gently reheat the tea if needed before serving. Enjoy your delicious and aromatic Russian Tea!
