Perfect Iced Tea

June is Iced Tea Month. This recipe is a combination of Grandma Hickman’s method of making delicious iced tea and my mom’s little touch of clove. I tweaked the procedure a bit. You know how you're supposed to add tea bags to the cold water and heat until water barely comes to a boil? Well, there's been a time or two when I let it come to a full boil which resulted in a bitter tea. I had an epiphany and came up with this recipe. 

Bring a small saucepan 2 - 3 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and quickly add 5 teabags. Let steep for about 10 minutes, then add ¾ to 1 cup of sugar. Optional: sprinkle ground clove. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue to steep until pan is cool.

Remove teabags. Pour into a 2 quart pitcher, fill with water and ice to the top. 

Hot Cocoa Mix

1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer

2 cups powdered sugar

½ cup cocoa powder

3 + ½ cups non-fat powdered dry milk

Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Blend with whisk or use a flour sifter until finely blended. Store in an airtight container.

Use 1/3 cup in a mug, pour in hot water, and stir. Add mini marshmallows or a dollop of whipped cream.

In Hot Water

About a year ago I started drinking hot water like Gramsy used to. I don't know what made me try it but I love it! I've found that it takes the place of drinks with calories during the day, it keeps me warm and it tastes better than cold water. I Googled this phenomenon and found that it's actually the temperature of the water that changes my taste buds. Like, when I was pregnant, the only way I could drink milk was on ice. This week a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres show  suggested that we should start our day with a cup of hot water instead of coffee, tea, or juice. In his book, The Guru In You, Yogi Camerson Alborzian said we should be kind to our body and wake up slowly, instead of jolting it with caffeine or sugar. You should try a cup and let me know what you think.
