         Mary Cox-Bilz’s Russian Tea

2     1 qt. (large jars) containers Instant Iced Tea, sweetened and with lemon (any brand)
1     1 qt. Jar Tang
3     tbsp. Cinnamon

Since I am a quadriplegic, for this tea, I get someone whose fingers work to mix all ingredients well and store in an air tight container. I use one I can flip open with my mouth stick, but any cannister, or even a large Ziploc bag works well.  Mix two teaspoons with half a glass of water. Add ice, and enjoy a refreshing treat any time you like. You can also use it (2 tsp. per cup and add hot water) as an instant hot tea.  Or we sometimes make it by the pitcher using 3/4  to 1 cup of mixture to a 2 quart container.
