Just made this for Christmas baskets and had to try it. It was a little sweet for me, so I added a bit more tea, but it is really good. Tastes similar to the spiced cider mix we just purchased at Starbucks and much less expensive. Great gift item!

Made a mistake and used a packet of koolaid for the lemonade. Also added a bit more tea and sugar to get the taste my husband is looking for. Not quite there yet but will keep adjusting.

It doesn't get any easier or any better than this! Everyone loves to receive this as a gift. It smells sooooo good in a steamy mug...really warms the body and the heart. Thanks Laura!

We gave it as part of our Christmas gift baskets and people were thrilled. It's a nice change from the usual hot drinks and it's great on a cold day!

It was really neat to make it. The smell is kinda funny but the taste is great. I had always heard about Russian Tea, and now I can make my own!

This was a great recipe for spiced tea...I made some changes...I used instant lemon flavor tea mix, omitted the allspice (I did not have any on hand), and increased the serving size to 6qts. to fit my jar.

This was okay--a little sweet, though. Dad enjoyed it, however, which is saying ALOT.

Not quite the russian tea from my childhood--but very close. I found it to be a bit too lemony, next time I will cut that down a bit. And it seems like a lot of sugar but it doesn't end up a terribly sweet beverage. Very comforting on a cold winter night!

I'm making this to give to all my sons' teachers for Christmas. I love the way this recipe is presented in quantity, with instructions for the gift tag. My mom, a retired teacher, received this as a gift from one of her former students and really enjoyed it.
