Russian Tea

For those who like it hot. Here is a simple and pleasant way to make this delicious hot tea. Beforehand push a clove into each tea ball, slice 1 lemon and 1 small orange, and rub the sugar lumps gently over orange or lemon rinds to absorb the flavoring oil. At tea time each one makes her or his own tea with a tea ball and freshly boiled water from a freshly scalded teapot, and flavors it with orange or lemon to suit.
