Easy Ice Tea Recipes for National Ice Tea Month

Image
***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.

Memorial Day Tribute

Image
Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.  Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings, and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season. Cities and towns across the United States host Memorial Day parades each year, often incorporating military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations. Some of the largest parades take place in  Chicago ,  New York,  and  Washington, D.C. GY SGT Walter I. Arnold We would like to introduce you to our father GY SGT Walter I. Arnold.

Now, maybe you’re like me and your first thought was what the heck is a lemondoodle and why do I think I need it? O r maybe you have encountered lemondoodles and you’re wondering why I live under a rock. Either way, it sparked an idea. I was dead set on making lemondoodles. When I ran the idea by Cathy, she suggested I write about my experience, so here we are. I did a quick search and found two recipes that sounded like good contenders for my little experiment. I printed them off and I was ready to go. Here’s something you should know about me: I
