My Recipe for Sweet Tea


Who loves sweet tea?  This girl!  OK, and the rest of my family!


My original post for this recipe on my old blog can be seen right here!



My Recipe for Sweet Tea

Water
Ice
1 Cup Sugar
2 Family Size Tea Bags

Fill a large saucepan about three fourths full of water.  Add one cup of sugar.  DO NOT STIR.  Place the saucepan over high heat.  Let the sugar MELT into the water.  Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat.  Do not boil the tea.  Add two family size tea bags.  I use a chop stick or tablespoon to dunk those tea bags under the water a couple of times.  Let steep for at least 10 minutes.  Pour the tea into a large 4 quart (one gallon) pitcher filled about halfway with ice.  If the pitcher is not completely full after adding the hot tea, simply add more water.


 
You know what to do next.  Pour yourself a glass over ice and enjoy!

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

Participating in craft challenges is just that.  A challenge!  I love how each one helps me think in different ways and pulls me out of any ruts I might be experiencing.  This one is all about sustainability.  For me that means:  Minimize purchases.  Upcycle wherever possible.  This time, I even grew something from seed!
