Fruit Tea Recipes

These delicious, old-fashioned tea recipes are taken from Mom's old recipe scrapbook, circa 1929.

The rhubarb iced tea recipe is especially refreshing and delicious.


Rhubarb Iced Tea Drink

Tea freshly brewed, 1 quart; juice and rinds of 2 lemons or 1 orange; 1 lemon, cut into thick wedges; sugar, 1-1/2 cups; rhubarb to taste. Mix together tea, rhubarb, lemon, and sugar. Cook until rhubarb is tender. Strain and cool. Pour over broken ice in cups or glasses.

Strawberry and Black Currant Tea

Strawberry and black currant leaves make a very good substitute for tea when properly treated.

Raisin Tea Drink

This simple fruit tea recipe is taken from the book "Wright's Book of 3000 Practical Receipts" by A. S. Wright, published by Dick & Fitzgerald, New York, in 1869.

Stoned raisins, 1 pound; water, 5 quarts. Boil to one gallon and strain. Serve hot or with ice.

Lemon Tea à La Russe, Russian Lemon Tea

This original Russian tea recipe is taken from the book "Aunt Babette's Cook Book, Foreign and Domestic Receipts for the Household" by Aunt Babette, published by Bloch Publishing and Printing Company, Chicago, in 1889.

Lay a slice of lemon in the bottom of each cup, sprinkle with sugar, and pour hot, strong tea over it. Use no cream in this Russian tea recipe.

Iced Lemon Tea Drink

This iced fruit tea recipe is taken from the recipe book "Buckeye Cookery and Practical Housekeeping" published by Buckeye Publishing Company, Minneapolis, in 1877.

Tea made like that for iced tea (or that left in the teapot after a meal), with sugar to taste, a slice or two of lemon, a little of the juice, and some pieces of cracked ice, makes a delightful drink. Serve in glasses.

Orange Iced Tea with Lemon And Ice Cream

This dessert-like iced tea recipe is taken from the "Second Edition of The Neighborhood Cookbook" published by the Council of Jewish Women, Portland, in 1914.

You have to try this one! This easy dessert recipe would be perfect to serve on any special occasion. Indeed, it would make any occasion special.


Chill a pitcher of freshly made tea of the desired strength. Sweeten with orange syrup instead of sugar, being careful not to get it too sweet. Then squeeze in enough lemon juice to give it a little twang, and set on ice again to get thoroughly chilled.

Have ready a bowl of chipped ice, a bowl of vanilla ice cream, and a pitcher of cold tea. Fill a dainty glass one-third full of ice, pour on tea until it is two-thirds full, and then drop a spoon of ice cream on top and pass at once on a plate.

Prairie Moon Beverage Syrups

Rio beverage syrupWhen the old-time iced fruit tea recipe above calls for orange flavoring syrup, you can save yourself time and money by using Rio brand syrup concentrates from the Prairie Moon Company. I highly recommend them.

These quality fountain syrups come in over 50 popular flavors, including all the old-time soda fountain favorites like sarsaparilla, vanilla, cherry, chocolate, coffee, ginger ale, root beer, cola, lemon, maraschino cherry, banana, orange, pineapple, raspberry, and strawberry. Simply add water and your own sugar or sweetener to the concentrate. It couldn't be easier.
