Hot Russian Holiday Tea

With the holidays close at hand it is time to decide on my menu and drinks to be served. Today I am bringing you a simple recipe for Hot Russian Holiday Tea. During the holidays we always have a big selection of beverages on the buffet, including ice tea. My family loves teas. In the summer we love sweet tea and my kids will drink Arnold Palmer’s (Ice Tea and Lemonade) all year-long. My wife enjoys hot tea every morning. I was at Walmart the other day picking up some supplies to get ready for Thanksgiving and decided to pick up some tea. Walmart was featuring Milo’s tea, from Alabama, so I decided to give it a try. Walmart was running a special, buy 2 gallons of Milo’s Tea for just $5.00.It is starting to get cold around here in southern Ohio, it was 34° yesterday, so I decided to try my hand at a warm spiced tea drink to serve over the holidays. I have always liked wassail, which is more of spiced hot cider, but since I had purchased a few gallons of the Milo’s sweet tea I decided to create a Hot Russian spiced tea for a warm treat instead. The best part about this tea is that it is easily made ahead of time and served right out of the crock pot. To make the Hot Russian Holiday Tea, add all ingredients to the crock pot and then slowly poor in 12 cups of Milo’s Sweet Tea.  Stir well to combine. Heat on high for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to low for two hours until ready to serve. Serve hot or cold.

This tea is simply spiced and is the perfect drink served at all of your holiday parties. I served the tea with my Cranberry White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, recipe coming soon.
