Trying to Beat the Heat

So my air conditioner is on the fritz. (Not a great thing when you live in Nebraska, in July.) So that makes my nightly cup of hot tea sort of a stupid idea.

Lately I've been taking to brewing a couple of pints of tea in the evening and letting them sit. Before I go to bed I stick them in the fridge. Then the next day I add ice and enjoy this freshly brewed Iced Tea.

Obviously not a new idea by any means, but new for me. I've always hated iced tea (or thought I did) because my dad always made the mixed stuff with the creepy artificial sugar taste. This is just so much better. Tonight I'm brewing a cup of Moroccan Mint Green tea, and a cup of a tea called "The Magic of Hawaii" its an herbal brew with some tropical hints. Delicious!

Speaking of nice summer time drinks I wonder if Linda will share her Mojito recipe . . that sounds good right now too!

I'm also enjoying a bowl of ice cream tonight, that's keeping me cool too!

I hear Ed's got a great new idea for a quick and delicious pizza crust - I can't wait til he blogs it and we all can learn something new!
