Tired With Tea

Strange title, huh?

Just thought I'd offer my favorite winter-time tea recipe for you to enjoy. My dad made it when I was a little girl and I've loved it ever since. Everybody's heard of Russian Tea, but this is the real deal, in my humble opinion.

Oh, I was a little off with my optimism. Jessie has required a massive amount of sleep over the past couple of days. But other than being entirely too ornery, she seems to be plugging along. :)

Russian Tea

23 oz. unsweetened pineapple juice

23 oz. unsweetened orange juice

8 oz. lemon juice

8 cups strongly brewed unsweetened tea

1 cup of sugar (to taste)

14 whole cloves

2 sticks of cinnamon

I like to heat it in a large pot on the stove to make the entire house smell delicious.

Enjoy!
