My review
Hot Spiced Tea for the Holidays
5
Darcey Family
"This is an old family favorite, handed down from my great-grandmother. The holidays officially begin with Christmas carols and my favorite hot spiced tea! Definitely a seasonal comfort beverage for me! I prefer to use fresh juices with pulp. The flavors are different. Canned pineapple in light syrup is best. Set the pineapple chunks aside for the rest of your holiday baking. Store leftovers in refrigerator and reheat as needed."

I made this exactly by the recipe, but when I tasted it, it seemed a little weak. So I added the tea bags back in for another 10 minutes (I had already discarded the cinnamon and cloves). The ne...

This is the same as Russian Tea, with fresh ingredients and much less sweet - a good thing. The other advantage is that I don't have to mix as many servings as the dry mix version.

Delicious. Wanted a warmer-up that wasn't spiced apple cider. This is very good. Adjust the sugar to your preference. I think I'd use a little less next time.
