Mr X thought a post about tea was a little unnecessary- but I told him he’d be surprised the number of times people have said they can’t get their tea right!
The Queen of “I don’t measure” (that would be yours truly) actually follows this to a T:
In a 2-cup glass Pyrex measuring cup, put 2 c water, 1 family-sized tea bag (I like Community) and 1 small fruit-flavored bag (my current fave- Lipton Purple Acai and Blueberry green tea)). Microwave on high 3 minutes. (You really might have to adjust here according to your microwave’s strength- mine is pretty powerful.)
Pour it in a pitcher; then fill your Pyrex cup up with ice (in Texas we like our iced tea REALLY ICED!) and fill with water; add it to the pitcher. Sweeten with 1/4 cup Splenda and stir it up. When serving, fill your glass to the top with ice!
Huh huh huh …. you follow it to a “T”!!!
LOL Sunshine; it’s so early I didn’t even catch my pun!
Not sure which I love the best…our sweet tea or sweeter Texas accents…lol!
Going to try adding the fruit-flavored tea to mine…thank ya ‘mam…
Yummo! Another good one!! Thank you for the post!! :)
