Warm Honey Russian Tea

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 3 (3") cinnamon sticks
• 10 whole cloves
• 6 cups water
• 1/3 cup orange-flavored breakfast beverage crystals
• 1/3 cup presweetened lemonade mix
• 1/4 cup unsweetened instant tea
• 1/4 cup honey

Preparation

Step 1

Place the cinnamon sticks and cloves in a cheesecloth bag.

Stir together water and remaining 4 ingredients in a 3-quart slow cooker; add spice bag. Cover and cook on HIGH setting 2 hours or on LOW setting 4 hours. Remove and discard spice bag; stir well before serving.

Notes:
Reduce your slow-cooker setting to LOW or WARM when serving to keep the tea warm throughout your gathering. Any leftovers will easily heat up in a small saucepan on your cooktop-or try it over ice.
