Okay, maybe this'll work now.

Weird, I was trying to post about my new iced tea recipe I found and it all started translating to Hindi. So in case any of my two followers understand Hindi, I left up the post.

Okay, back to business. Here is my new AWESOME Iced Tea recipe I got from top secret recipes! It's awesome in taste, but takes a couple hours to make.

I did a double recipe for 1 gallon of tea.

Bring 16 cups of water to boil and take off heat, then add two tea bags. (I used Lipton green tea with ginseng and lemon.) Cover and let steep for 1 hour. Put 4 Tbsp honey in gallon pitcher, add 1 cup sugar. Pour tea into pitcher and add 6 Tbsp lemon juice. (You can also add 1/2 tsp ginseng extract if desired. I didn't have any, and it tasted great without it.) Chill before serving.

Yum!!!

It said something about change from Hindi to other foreign languages. *shrug*

My back pain is still in my butt and leg. I took some Naproxen and muscle relaxent yesterday and I was able to sleep and didn't have too much pain until this afternoon. I have an appt. to see Maria on Tuesday, so hopefully that'll help fix it.

I made the tea. It is in the fridge now. I used lemon zinger and i didn't have lemon juice, so I had to squeeze a lemon using my garlic press. Very tedious. Random that I have a lemon, where most folks would have the juice.

Yes, weird that you have lemon. It will probably taste better than just lemon juice concentrate. I didn't have any ice when I made it, so I had to wait for it to cool in the fridge.
