I love the spring for about a million different reasons.. but it's ICED TEA TIME! I love tea, I drink tea year round (hot and cold!) But it doesn't have to be plain old lipton! I used this one today;
It's from celestial seasonings and it's pretty dang good.
You can see I have 8 tea bags, and that's what I used to one pitcher of tea. Simply get a pot of water boiling (I use a small pot.. you don't need enough to fill a pitcher), drop the tea bags in..boil for about 5 mins. In the mean time I add as much of whatever sweetener I am going to use to my pitcher. I used organic honey (about 1/4 cup..) because I don't want it too sweet. I want it healthy too!
Once your 5 mins of boiling is up, remove the tea bags (dispose of them.) Add your boiling tea to the pitcher right away in order to disolve your sweetener and stir. Then add water to fill your pitcher (with about 2 inches to spare.)
I cut up half of a lemon (optional, but recommended) and twisted them into the tea - leaving them in.
I then topped it off with ice and allowed it it to cool in the fridge and waalahh! It's done! At first my husband was all "ehhh babe I want regular tea" but we were out so he got this anyways.. THEN he said that he wants this one for now on, no more plain tea!!
