Oleana's Russian Iced Tea Recipe
ResumeOleana chef and owner Ana Sortun has a Russian-style iced-tea recipe from her Sofra Bakery that is something special for those hot, summer afternoons:
- 2 cups freshly brewed, cooled herbal tea (Sortun recommends the Sevan blend from MEM Tea, found at the South End Formaggio or the Sevan Bakery)
- Juice of half an orange (1/4 cup)
- Apricot Jam (Greek or Mediterranean is best)
Add the orange juice to the cooled tea and then stir in jam to taste. If the jam is not a smooth consistency, after it has been added, run the tea through a strainer. Serve cold over ice.
