i just made this I will let you know how it turns out.

Black Tea Lemonade

Tea:
4 large black tea bags (or 6ish regular sized tea bags)
6 cups of water

Lemonade:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
1 cup lemon juice (from 4-6 lemons)

Bring 6 cups of water to boil, remove from heat, add tea bags and allow to steep for 10 minutes.

While the tea steeps, make your simple syrup: heat the water and sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar is completely dissolved. Meanwhile, juice your lemons.

Combine the lemon juice, simple syrup, and steeped tea in a pitcher. Stir! Refrigerate for about an hour.

If it’s too strong for you, just add some cold water!

Serve over ice, with stripey straws, if at all possible. :)

okay it is amazing I cut back to 3/4 cup of sugar might go to 1/2 next time I like pucker sour but at 3/4 it tastes exactly like Starbucks it makes 2 litres so I figure I saved abou $30

I think I've gained 5lbs just today, McD for breakfast, dairy queen for ice cream, popcorn at the movie and then dinner! eek! Oh well, once in awhile can't hurt, I hope!!

Hope I get my box soon, well soon next week ;) Thought perhaps a later delivery wouldn't be so bad either. Less time to wait before opening begins

Woohoo! I'm a huge fan of Sandra Bullock (I feel we could be kindred spirits). I have a date night with a friend (while daddy stays home with Alexa! Woohoo!). So excited!

Going to have to try this:excited:, hmmmmm wonder if mom will notice all of her lemons missing :icon_scratch:.

Buddy by any chance did you include a house fairy in my package?????? Today I try to make it look like I do not live in an episode of hoarders, wish me luck. Let's hope mom is not in an crafty/sentimental mood today, because we need to clean out our craft room so we can move her cake room. Oh man, I am tired just thinking about it, maybe I should have another cup of tea first.

Morning ladies! Such a bright sunny day out...contemplating whether to stay home and veg or go out. Hubby wants to stay in and relax as he worked yesterday poor thing. He's sealing our driveway and I promised the kids lasagna today. I'm gonna sneak in some spinach and kale into the sauce somehow. :). Going to head to Can Tire today to use up my last 6 greenworks coupons. YAY!!

I like that Sandra is like 49! Looks pretty amazing for an "older" woman (by hollywood standards), and still acting like she does, one of the highest paid women actors. Pretty cool :)

Seems like a nice day outside, kiddo is out with the grandparents playing in the backyard, I should go out too I guess. Nice to have a little break from the chatter, my kid talks a lot. Seriously. Sometimes I like to just have quiet.

So I thought I would help explain this to you! If you shipped your parcel by expedited shipping from B.C. to the following locations you will be charged HST on your parcel:
Priority™, Xpresspost™ and commercial parcels (expedited parcels) within Canada

Tax Applicable provinces

HST only
If sent to ON, PEI, NB, NS or NL
That also includes the other western provinces too when we ship from AB, SK, MB to the Eastern Provinces we will get charged HST as well.

Hope this helps!

Have a wonderful day everyone, Norma
