It is time for the great WFF sweet sun tea recipe thread.
My recipe.
For one gallon.
Three large family size bags of Lipton with four single size bags of raspberry or peach flavored tea from Celestial Seasonings. 3/4 cup of sugar.
Am starting some spearmint plants to use in my sweet tea.
WATCH OUT FOR THOSE FUCKERS! Seriously, mint is second only to bamboo when it comes to "invasiveness". You CANNOT kill or get rid of that stuff. The good news is, it spreads very slowly. I knew this, and planted some anyway a few years ago (spearmint also), but knew going in that it was going to be a battle. I till the hell out of the area at the end of the season, round up everything in the area. Then in early spring, I start round upping and tilling the mint area, about every 3 weeks. Only by doing this have I kept the size manageable. (about 2' x 2') If you haven't planted it yet, consider a big container somewhere- that is definitely the better option.
The house I grew up in had a side yard full of mint. I Love the smell of it. We learned how to make tea with the leafs at camp. That's some good stuff!
You never make me tea bitch!
STOP YELLING AT ME!!! you never asked.
