I tried something new to me, but old to almost everyone else, today.
\nI am a tea drinker. I drink hot tea and iced tea. If I’m drinking iced tea, I prefer Lipton’s Black, mixed with Tazo “Awake” black tea. If I’m drinking hot tea, it’s Lipton’s Black, or a variety of other teas, such as Earl Gray, English Breakfast Tea, Darjeeling, or occasionally black tea flavored with a hint of orange. I don’t usually care for fruit teas, except for one apricot tea that’s lovely on a cold evening. I don’t care for herbal tea, either. I just want plain black tea that is brewed strong.
\nI probably have twenty kinds of tea in the cabinet. My family must think I’m difficult to buy for, because I frequently get gifts of tea. I don’t mind. It’s the perfect gift. One of my nieces has also created a collection for me of one and two-cup tea pots and cups. The most recent one has a Japanese look. It’s cast iron and sits on a small round cup meant for a warming candle or Sterno can.
\nSo…back to today. I have heard it suggested that rather than water your drink down with ice cubes, you can freeze what you plan to drink in ice cube trays. When you add the ice cubes to your drink, it doesn’t get diluted!
\nI tried it today. What a simple idea! I can’t believe that I haven’t done it long before this. I have iced tea, with iced tea cubes, and my tea is still as strong as when I brewed it.
\nGo try it. Iced coffee, Iced lemonade….hmmmmmmm I don’t think alcohol will freeze….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
