Russian Tea

Recipe from: Mom, Erin Kay Smith Ferguson, who received it from her sister Ardy (1960's).  

This recipe became a family tradition to drink on cold winter days.  It also fills the air with a wonderful citrus scent!

Boil for 5 minutes:
2 cups sugar 
2 cups water

Then add:
2/3 cup lemon juice
2 cups orange juice
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
2 quarts (8 cups) water

Heat to drinking temperature.  Leave pot on stove on very low heat to enjoy throughout the day and fill the room with a wonderful citrus smell!
