June : National Tea Month

One thing I love.  A large glass of sweet iced tea.  Sometimes the things we love most are not all that good for for you.  My granny made a quart of ice tea everyday.  She used 4 tea bags and two cups of sugar.  Then came the most important thing:

Without Lemon I did not drink it.  The sugar had to be mixed while tea was just steeped.  If the restaurant did not have sweet tea, I just drank coke.  Like all things in life things change.  I learned to like unsweet tea with lemon.  I had to, 3 out of 5 people in my family developed type 2 diabetes.  

For the rest of the month I will try a tea in a different way each day.  Tea has many restorative value and I will give the recipe here. if you have a favorite let me know. I find it ironic that spell check does not recognize the word unsweet.  It wants to change it to unsweetened.  So there you have a southern belle that loves her tea.
