Iced Tea

So for years I've watched my mother drink Iced Tea and thought why?? I grew up drinking it (and swear it's why I'm so short... you know all that caffeine) as did everyone in my family. I watched as my grandparents drank pitcher after pitcher. I can now tell the difference in day old tea versus freshly brewed tea and I owe it all to my mother. But I never got it. I didn't see the big deal in Iced Tea until today. Now I get it! It's an alternative to all the sugar drinks that only add to the hips. So now I'm off to brew my own tea.

For those of you that need a little kick for your tea here's one of my fav's:
