We had the best weather this weekend and spent most of it outdoors. Went to our favorite outdoor flea market and barbecued. Carlos did some fishing while Raven and I did our walking thing. Perfect weather to usher in the first weekend of Summer 2007. Well all this time spent outdoors in the heat does make one thirsty, so I thought I would try Mrs. Wilt's Southern Sweet Tea recipe that she had posted at the Sparrow's Nest.
While waiting for the water and sugar to boil, I opened the refrigerator to get a bottle of water to drink and noticed that the pitcher I use for iced tea was in there also and it was filled with what I thought was lemonade.
"How sweet of Carlos," I thought as I poured myself a glass. Then I noticed this "lemonade" had a peculiar smell, a very corny kind of smell.
"Carlos-what's in that pitcher in the refrigerator?" I asked, not so sure if I wanted to know the answer.
"It's the water from the pot that you made the corn-on-the-cob in. I'm going to drink it-it's supposed to be good for the kidneys."
And drink it he did. Gross!!!
Anyway, I made the Southern Sweet Tea using British blend tea bags so I don't know how this is going to turn out.
But I'm sure it will taste better than "sweet corn tea".
