This sounds easy and fun! I didn't know Tang stilled existed. In my childhood, we only had it on camping trips as a substitute for orange juice. I loved it for that reason -- it was different and special.
Mama made that and called it Russian tea, also! Some of my students' parents made it as gifts. Thanks for the blast from the past!
If you have a Winco near you, get the Tang, Instant Tea, and Lemonade mix there...otherwise most places charge ridiculous prices...you'll LOVE the flavor of this!
I've heard it called Russian Spiced Tea, Russian Tea, and Friendship Tea...all I know is I love the flavor.
I would love to try this, but I'm afraid the sugar content would be too high. Bummer! Hate that I can't have all the things I love due to blood sugar!
