Sue-p: Thank you for posting the recipe. I have a dear church friend that is 80 something and never had Russian tea until this past holiday. I wanted to purchase all the ingredients and mix it up for her. I thought I purchased the instant tea with lemon, but it was just instant tea. She needed the decaf tea which I managed to get for her. The Tang was 20 oz and the tea was 3 oz. Any suggestions on how much lemon drink or lemonade powder to use and how much tang ?Any help from you or any other posters would be greatly appreciated. I have on hand the strawberry lemonade powder: suggestions for this and other recipes appreciated. Thank you!

I remember my mother making this and offering my c cup when visiting or coming home from college. Great memories. I think all the flavored teas got their start from this! Thanks for posting sue-p. I miss your recipes too and sorry to hear of your poor health. I work in a nursing home now and know of struggles there and the hard work it requires at times to get home.
