This recipe certainly did not originate with me but the delicious flavor of this hot beverage, usually called Russian Tea, is a favorite of mine around the holidays. I may modify this season with artificially sweetened drink mixes to keep the calories lower. Below is the full sugar recipe. Jars of this mix make great gifts as well.
- 1 cup instant tea
- 2 cups orange-flavored drink mix (e.g. Tang)
- 1 (3 ounce) package powdered lemonade mix
- 3/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
In a large bowl, combine instant tea, orange drink mix, lemonade powder, sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Mix thoroughly. Store in a sealed jar. To use, mix 3 to 4 tablespoons of mix with 1 cup hot water. Adjust to taste.

Every January we like to gather as a croux and plan for the year ahead. It serves as a holiday celebration and a strategy session. We look forward to it every year. Over the last few years, we’ve also begun incorporating a “word of the year” practice, where we each choose a word that we will focus on throughout the year.
This year, we decided to take our merry-making to the streets of Nashville to see how well the average passerby could interpret some of our favorite Creole vocab. The results were… entertaining. See for yourself!
Every year, our croux puts together a roundup of our favorite Super Bowl commercials.
This time around, we thought we’d switch it up and ask for submissions of our team’s favorite commercials EVER. Whether from 2023 or 2003, we want to celebrate the advertising magic of Super Bowl Sunday.
Here at roux, we have a wonderful team of creatives supporting us, including photographers, videographers, writers, and designers.
