Recipies from Mom

I have been asked to share a few of my Mom's recipies so I thought this might be an easy way to share them and any others I come across. If my mom cooked something for you that you loved and would like the recipe for please let me know. I will look through her recipe box and try to find it for you.

Mom's "Russian Tea"

Every Fall we could count on  Mom making a big batch of this spiced tea to help warm us on those chilly days!


INGREDIENTS:

3 cups Tang
1/2 cup instant tea
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves


DIRECTIONS:
1. MIX all together in an airtight container. (Remember to shake the container before serving.)
2. Add 1 -2 tsp to mug of hot water to taste.

Every person likes different stregnths of the tea, have fun finding the perfect mix for you! I personally like a stronger tea so I will use 4-5 spoonfuls for a large mug.
