There is no resisting Russian tea

Ellyn Ritterskamp

Resistance is futile.

I made up a batch of Russian tea: Tang, sugar, powdered tea/lemonade, ground cinnamon and ground cloves. Three teaspoons of that with a cup of hot water is just pure heaven. There is a good bit of sludge on the bottom of the cup, to remind me that the whole endeavor is pretty much just sugar, and to only have one of these a day as a treat.

But it is super-hard to resist. Without a reasonably strong will, I could drink four of these on a night at home when I'm not at work.


I guess the lesson is that I should work more.

Onward.
