Philosophy

I like to cook, but I don't like it to get complicated. The less ingredients I have to deal with, the better. I'm not very patient in the kitchen, so when I cook, I want it to come together fast. I also don't have a super-well stocked kitchen, so I've really just got the basics to work with. I don't use many exact measurements, but fortunately, most of these recipes are hard to mess up. As they say, baking is a science but cooking is an art.

Russian Tea (instant mix)

Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Tang
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Instant Tea
  • 1/2 Pack Lemonade (Wylers)
  • 1 Tbs Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbs whole cloves

This is a fall and winter favorite - warm, tasty and full of vitamin C. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Be careful mixing as it creates somewhat of a dust storm that you won't want to inhale. Add 1-2 Tablespoons (according to taste) to a mug of hot water. Enjoy!
