***UPDATED 7/14/23*** It’s been hot and sticky in Virginia lately. What would make it tolerable is a cold & refreshing treat. My grandkids love popsicles and I have them ready when they come over for a visit. You don’t have to have anything fancy to make popsicles. All you need is some fruit juice, fruit, and some sort of mold. I’ve made them in small cups with a popsicle stick and I’ve made them in a silicone mold.   Here are some delicious recipes that you can make for your kids, grandkids, or just for yourself.  The link to the recipes is highlighted in this post.

***UPDATED 5/31/24*** It's National Ice Tea Month and I love iced tea. Typically if I'm going through the drive-thru at CFA or McDs, I get a sweet tea half cut, meaning the tea is way too sweet to order it full strength so I order a blend of sweet and unsweetened. Can you relate? I make iced tea on occasion with a tea maker and add simple syrup I've made. Normally it's just family-size tea bags with no other flavors. Sometimes, making flavored tea is on the agenda, like strawberry or mango flavors are delicious. Below are some thirst-quenching sweet tea recipes you'll have to try.  How to Make Southern Sweet Tea How to Make Sweet Tea INGREDIENTS 3 family-sized black tea bags ( or 12 individual tea bags), such as Lipton or Luzianne 1 Cup granulated sugar Ice Fresh mint leaves or lemon slices (optional) EQUIPMENT Small saucepan Long-handled spoon 1 Gal pitcher, or multiple smaller pitchers INSTRUCTIONS Boil the water.
