Hot Sweet tea?

Oh Yeah! Russians have a fine concoction that makes an excellent holiday tea, referred to as Chai Po-Russki. Starting with Ceylon black tea and adding ingredients such as citrus and pineapple fruit slices along with seasoning notes of cinnamon and cloves brews up a splendid tea cocktail! This beverage is enjoyed as a desert or after dinner drink in Russia and has caught on as a holiday tradition in many other countries. This recipe has been shared all over the world and is a popular holiday drink in many parts of the world. This tea has passed down by generations and evolving into the trademark commonly known as “Russian Tea”. Chai Po-Russki is especially favored in the cold, harsh, winter season of Russia because it maintains the hot temperature for longer than plain tea due to the fact of the fruit particles becoming heat conductors in the tea mixture, which keeps the tea nice and toasty for a cold winter’s day or eve. Try this recipe for the holidays, it is a nice festive drink and also can be a light refreshing desert. Enjoy! Happy Holidays and wishing you all the best!
