The Story of the Sweet Tea

[Airehead]

I wasn't going to tell it but since chicken salad is on the plate-- here goes--. I used all the sweet tea last night.  We had dog school tonight so Mr. Aire was home early getting things done.  I was answering a reporter's call about a baby beaten by her father.  It followed an interview that ran yesterday.  Anyway, I digress.  Mr. Aire was being nice so he made a new batch of sweet tea.  I came home and he poured me a glass.  It was sti a little warm and melted the ice.  This made me sad  because I usually give a cube to Ryan.  Then I tasted it and it wasn't very good tea.  I drank it because he made it with love.  I felt content drinking week tea.

how nice he made you a bad batch of sweet tea.. it's the thought that counts!

Here is my story of sweet tea.... 
AWWC was supposed to send me a jug of good sweet tea from NC.... he has not done so yet and it has been over 5 years mow... I am sad

That was a very sweet story, Aire.  Mr Aire is a good egg.

I usually prefer not to drink week tea.  Any tea that has sat that long is no longer any good.   Maybe that's why you didn't enjoy it?

What is sweet tea? I take it it is not simply sweetened tea?

Yes, except it is made with a simple syrup poured in instead of granular sugar

Nice story, but the finish needs more oomph. I suggest this:

 I felt vaguely content drinking weak tea.

I'm too lazy to make tea.  People make it for me.

I used to love sweet tea when I was younger.  That said, southern sweet tea was always too sweet.  Since I need to cut down on my sugar, I guess it is good that I like less sweet tea now.

Sometimes people like my7 grandmamma put a pinch of baking soda in the tea to cut the acid.

I buy that tea shown above and it is too sweet.  I dilute it with water, about 3 to 1 or so.  Very drinkable then.  Also when it gets down to about half full, I dump in a 2-liter bottle of Country Time lemonade to make it Arnold Palmer Tea.

They sell Snapple "Takes 2 to Mango Tea" at Costco for cheap in cases of 35 20-oz bottles.

That's tea!  Unfortunately it's also 200 Calories so I don't drink it unless I've walked at least 2 miles - or the shopping equivalent - that day or the day before.
