I’m thinking about having a portacath implanted just so I can get my tea in faster every morning.

I am a southern California Girl born and raised, I lived in Missouri for almost ten years and I LOVE sweet tea. I was so happy to see that McDonalds started serving sweet tea. I also went to QT(Gas station) and found out that they have it too. Gawsh I am happy as can be about that as well.

Now take that simple sugar, that mint, some light rum and some lime juice and fix yourself up a mojito.

I grew up with sweet tea. We just boiled the tea, then added the sugar to the hot mix before adding enough water to make a gallon. You don’t always have to steep it with the sugar or use simple syrup.

But I also drink it unsweetened. I don’t think that makes me a yankee. ;)

Bacon, grits, and sweet tea are all on my list for my last meal.

I guess being a Texan makes you ‘different’ from being Southern. That or I got my grandmother’s Yankee blood (NH). But I cannot drink sweet tea. Plain iced tea, preferably sun tea, and very cold with lots of ice. But I’m glad you’re making the transition so well!

You’re getting close, Mir, that’s for sure. As you can see, every cook has his/her own way of making sweet tea. My grandmother and mother disagree over which brand is best and have each gone through several automatic iced tea makers. I’m a big fan of the lemon and mint leaves in my sweet tea. My great aunt has a beautiful cut crystal bowl and always artfully arranges them in the beautiful bowl. Makes the tea a treat for all senses.

Sending traveling mercies to the kids and hope that the time flies while they are gone.

My husband, who’s originally from CT, has fallen madly in love with sweet tea. Me? From Louisiana? Can’t stand tea in any form. You enjoy it for me, m’kay?

Mint tea. Ugh. Mint burns my stomach. Yes. I know that’s not normal. Quite the opposite of normal. Mint is supposed to soothe your stomach.

But sugar? Mmmmm….

Congrats on the almost one year anniversary of the move. Knew you’d settle in. :)
