I remember making and drinking this tea many decades ago. I hadn't even thought about it until now.
THANK YOU!!!!! I have not had Russian Tea in nearly 40 years and you just reminded me how much I miss it. Will be mixing up a batch next week for sure. My mom would always make it around Christmas. In Denmark, they have a drink that mixes that with a good Scotch that was awesome and it was a Christmas thing there too. Just happened to be in Copenhagen for work a week before Christmas and enjoyed seeing and tasting their holiday stuff (except for the Fermented Needlefish "delicacy" that they had for me to try).
yes...i started drinking it when i was sick in early 70's. not sure where my mother came up with recipe from.
i tell ya it helps with soar throat. i think we could add in a few things and make it even better. could be mental thing or just warm water..but who cares..it helps.
i can recall right now..but theres another drink from way back..i have to think a bit see if i can recall it.
those needlefish..arent they the ones its about like fermented vomit?
Well I gotta try this out.
I recall mom heating some of her tea and mixing it with Lemon and Honey when we got a sore throat or stuffed up head. Similar but different

Yep. The dish was disgusting and most of them said they hated it too but "it was tradition".
If you live in the arctic.......Hot tea, teaspoon of orange tang or orange Gatorade, and half teaspoon of butter, (shot of Tequila optional).

These things are beautiful, and 50-60 years ago they were everywhere, for free or in the dump, or $9.95

Samovars! Don't see too many of those nowadays! Not in modern households...
