If you want to try something uniquely Russian, try a cup of nice, black tea with a spoonful of fruit jam stirred in. Tea is the national drink of Russia, while the jam is a happy bonus.
Ingredients:
2 black tea bags (i use decaf)
1 cup water
1 -2 teaspoon jam (your choice-blackberry comes to mind, raspberry the possibilities are endless)
sugar
lemon
honey
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil. Turn off heat and add tea bags. Let steep about 10-15 minutes. This is the concentrate.
2. Pour desired amount of concentrate into a cup and mix it with hot water; thus, one can make one’s tea as strong as one wants, according to one’s taste. Add some jam to the cup and stir.
3. Variation:.
4. Sugar, lemon,or honey can be added freely instead of the jam if you like.
