I have created this blog for my children mostly to post information about a variety of things in life that make me happy.



"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you, You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declared the Lord.



~Jeremiah 29:11-13

Iced Tea

My Iced Tea


Several people have asked me how I make my tea.  I think that the secret is boiling the water and pouring it over the tea bags and sugar and then allowing it to steep for at least five minutes before adding water. 



Ingredients:
            5          Family size tea bags
            1 ½      Cups sugar
                        Boiling water to fill ½ of a pitcher (about ½ gallon of water)
                        Water to fill the pitcher

Drape tea bags over pitcher so that the tea bags are inside the pitcher and the paper is on the outside.  Add sugar to the bottom of the large pitcher.  (1 ½ to 2 gallon pitcher) After water boils, add to pitcher and stir sugar until it dissolves.  Place the lid on the pitcher and allow it to set and steep for at least five minutes.  Fill the remainder of the pitcher with water and stir again. 

We also enjoy adding things such as:
                      Mint, peaches, oranges, and of course lemons. 

                                   Enjoy
