CRANBERY TEA? YOU BETCHA!
By Mary Kennedy
Here at the Cozy Chicks, we're still celebrating the release of our TEA TIME with the COZY CHICKS book, and I wanted to share a couple of my favorite tea recipes, Cranberry tea and Russian tea. First, cranberry tea. Yes, you can buy it (Twinings has a nice version of this tea) but it is so easy to make. The home-made version is delicious and spicy with just the right amount of tang and sweetness. Ingredients: 4 cups cranberry juice cocktail4 cups water2 tea bags1 stick cinnamon5 whole clovesjuice of 1/4 lemon Directions: Put the cinnamon and cloves in a little bag made of cheesecloth. (If you don't have any cheesecloth in the house) put the cloves in one of those cute little "tea balls" and it will be just fine.
You can just add the cinnamon stick to the pot and it will be fine, too. Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil, and then simmer for 10 minutes. Remove tea bags, cloves and cinnamon stick. Your tea is ready to drink! Serve warm, you can leave it right on the stove on low. It's good served hot or cold and it serves 8.
Another delicious tea is Russian Tea (I don't use Tang, I make it the old-fashioned way with orange juice, pineapple juice and spices.). Very easy! The recipe below serves 20 so it's great for a party. Ingredients: 5 cloves2 cinnamon sticks3 quarts water3 tea bags2 cups orange juice1/2 cup lemon juice1 and 1/2 cups sugar2 and 1/2 cups pineapple juice Directions: Boil water and add tea bags and spices. Steep for 5 minutes. Now add juices and sugar, simmer for 15 minutes. Remove spices and serve. For some great recipes, plus fun facts about tea and our very own "tea memories" (mine is about a Perfect Yorkshire Tea) be sure to grab a copy of our book, TEA TIME with THE COZY CHICKS.
Here's how you can order it, and be sure to watch the fun video, using the bottom link on this page. I hope this inspires you to host a tea party for your friends!.
