sbiten

Recipe by
Beth Renzetti

Sbiten is a Russian mulled honey drink. Served warm, it is similar to mulled cider. It's usually served without alcohol, but certainly is delicious with vodka added just before serving. We also found it delicious with bourbon or cognac. Found at a website for Winter Olympics 2014.
