Step 6: Chill
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and let the tea balls chill for at least 1–2 hours.
- Chilling helps the balls firm up and enhances the flavors.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Once chilled, your Russian Tea Balls are ready to enjoy! Serve them alongside tea, coffee, or hot chocolate for an elegant and indulgent treat.
Storage Tip: Keep the tea balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well if you want to prepare them ahead of time.
Variations and Tips
- Chocolate Lovers: Add mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate over the finished balls.
- Nut-Free Option: Replace nuts with shredded coconut for a different texture.
- Festive Touch: Roll the balls in colored sugar or cocoa powder for holiday occasions.
