Thirsty Thursday

Iced Tea and Lemonade:

This beverage is a combo of two summer favs: tea and lemonade. I use Lipton's tea, specially brewed for iced tea for this one. This is the only time that I've ever used tea bags to make tea and have to say that I'm quite smitten with them. Makes 1/2 gallon.

The images chosen for this post come from two shops that are participating in the Yart Sale on Etsy. Click on the image to take you to their shops. After you check out their shops, type yart in the drop down search menu. So many great sales going on now!

1 tea bag steeped in 1 quart of water

2 lemons, juiced

1/4 cup sugar dissolved in 1 quart water

Mix, pour over ice and enjoy~

Until next time.....

Cranberry Lemonade:
1/2 cup cranberry juice concentrate (can be gotten at any health food store)
3 lemons ~ juiced
1/2 cup sugar (or to taste) you can also use honey or the sweetener of your choice.
1 1/2 quarts water
Mix, chill and enjoy!
Makes 1 1/2 quarts

FYI: this tastes really good with vodka. One year we made them at the beach. We named them Pink Legs. Long story short ~ my SIL got way too much sun. Drink enough of these and you won't feel the sunburn anymore.

I don't have a photo of the lemonade, but while searching Etsy, I found this. Click on the photo to get to the shop:

What a cool, eco-friendly shop! Give 'em a look~

Until next time.....
