Russian tea is a combination of tang, instant tea, spices. You can probably google and get a recipe. There are a lot of different recipes. This was prepared for me by my church. They gave everybody who had lost a relative this past year a special Christmas basket. My sister passed away just about the time I started posting on here last year. She looked as healthy as a horse and was jogging just two months before they found cancer in her liver. She was gone (thankfully) just days after they found out what was wrong.

OK, explain the chinese dumpling thing again. What kind do you buy? Or what can I find similar in central minnesota! no ethnic specialty grocery stores here. I don't undersatnd the cold water thing. Is that how you seperate the frozen clumps of dumplings or something?
Does Tang make a sugar free version? I love russian tea. I am wondering if you could vary the recipe to be more low cal.

It would be easier if you get it in a frozen section. Maybe try looking for it in the frozen section.
The reason you need to wait till the water boils,is because if you dump it in when the water is cold the flour will become all stuck together.
You need to whirl it so the dumplings will go in circles without sticking together,but don't break it,use the back of the fork or spoon to push them around. throw a little bit of water when it boils again,do it three times,by the thrid time,it should be cooked.
