Russian Tea

When the weather is miserable I want a hot cup of tea and lately it has been raining non-stop! I have been thinking about the Instant Russian Tea my Mother used to make. Just the scent of it makes me smile. It is made with instant Tea, Tang and spices. I was at the grocery store today and saw that they still sell Tang! I was thrilled and made a batch of Russian Tea for my kids. Below is my Mom's recipe for Russian Tea.



Instant Russian Tea by Mary Ann
1/2 cup Instant Tea (I used Lipton)
2 cups of Tang
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground Allspice
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and then pour into an airtight container.
When you are ready to use add 3-4 tsp of mix to one cup of boiling water.
*Add Bourbon for an adult beverage. Enjoy!

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray   1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water   Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base."   Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
