Always Save orange pekoe (about half a pint, made as sun tea) + leftover Yorkshire Gold (about 2/3 cup) + Pappy’s Sassafrass (a sploosh, and no, I don’t know how much that is) = cold and rooty and redneck and perfect for listening to John Hartford on Pandora. Come on over and have a swig.

Something about summer weather changes my tastes from snob to slob :)

When we were young, my brother and his friends would make fountain drinks that they called “suicides.” It was a ittle bit of everything. In summer, I take whatever black tea is left in all the pots and throw them together! That is my iced tea with lunch. Since the girls and I all drink different teas, we almost always have three pots sitting around with just a bit of tea in.

Yep, “suicides” was the term around here, too. Big church camp deal.

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
