Sun Tea

[aunt betty]

Mmmm. Finally got some sunshine.
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.

[flight control]

You ever do it with staghorn sumac berries? Tastes like pink lemonade.

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.

Whew, dodged a bullet there! My wife picked up a couple plants this weekend and I put them in pots on the front porch for sheer convenience. Everything else is out in the garden somewhere.

That will work out nice. They're nice looking plants, stay nice and green, are basically bug proof, and will fill up the containers nicely.

Not poison sumac. Staghorn sumac is a tree with bark that feels like antlers in velvet (hence staghorn). It gets clusters of hairy bright red "berries" in mid to late summer. Soak the clusters of berries in the sun for a while (don't use boiling water or you will get tannins and it won't taste as good). Add sugar, and you have sumacade. Would probably taste good in sun tea.

Zackly. Tea, water, no sugar. Not much better when done properly.

Sent from a gnarly phone with a kickstand

[DeadEye_Dan]

Never been a fan of the sun tea.

[Mornin Beef]

Now I'm not going to try it and provide booming reviews to your credit.

Hey we dont come into your threads and say we're not fans of old squaws do we. Its usually a nice thumbs up or hey atta boy to preserve civility on the site. Just sayin...

[DeadEye_Dan]

That's cuz you ninjas would sell your own mother into prostitution for a chance to kill a boat full of squaw.











Oh, that's 5.

[Mornin Beef]

You cant beat the gunning. You just cant beat it for squaws; we know we know. Throw in some scoters and theres nirvana, I know you know we all know. But I want some prime game for the plate once in awhile.

It doesn't have that taste of slothfulness mixed with a little hipster?

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!
