Russian tea II

Russian Tea is a refreshing and aromatic beverage that, although its name suggests a Russian origin, has much more varied roots and has become popular in different regions of Latin America under various names. In countries like Mexico, Venezuela, and Colombia, this drink has been adapted with local ingredients, giving it a unique flavor in each place. Its history dates back to the influence of European culture in America, and although traditional infusions exist in Russia, Latin American Russian Tea is characterized by its combination of citrus juices, spices, and tea, making it ideal for warm climates.

In some countries, this drink is also known as "spiced iced tea" or "tea with fruits and spices." Its name reflects the eclectic mix of flavors that combines the freshness of tea with the intensity of spices like cinnamon and cloves, in addition to the sweet and tangy touch of fruit juices. This blend results in a delicious and energizing beverage that reflects the richness of the region's traditions and ingredients.

How to Prepare Russian Tea II

To prepare Russian Tea II, begin by steeping the tea bags in hot water to extract all their flavor and aroma. It is important to let the tea reach a good concentration so the final drink has body and intense flavor.

Then, remove the tea bags to prevent the infusion from becoming bitter and reserve the resulting liquid.

Next, add sugar to the hot tea and mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved, which will balance the acidity of the juices and enhance the overall flavor of the drink.

Then incorporate the other ingredients: pineapple juice, frozen orange juice concentrate, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. These will provide a perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and spices.

Finally, keep the mixture refrigerated so it chills thoroughly and can be enjoyed as a refreshing and revitalizing drink at any time of the day.
