I drink iced tea. By the pint, by the
quart, by the gallon. Really
Okay, gallon and a half per deim during
summer, unless it's really hot and I'm doing really sweaty labor.
Then I might drink more.
This is not terribly strong tea: 2
bags to the quart (Do Not Squeeze The Last Bit Of Brown Out Of The
Bag It Will Make The Whole Thing Taste Nasty), and (sprinkle magic
pixie dust) each half gallon is flavored with a 1 quart … thingie
(Straw? Packet? Individual portion container?) of generic
sugar-free lemonade powdered drink mix substitute product stuff. I'm
informed that someone has trademarked this nectar as “Arnold
Palmer”. I have no idea who he is, other than the fact that
someone once told me that his wife once told Johnny Carson that she
kissed his balls for luck. This is a sick, sick society in which we
live.
*** The Aforementioned Product Is Not
To Be Used As A Substitute For Real Lemonade Especially If You're
Expecting To Get Your Lawn Mowed***
This resulting bevvie (RESULTING, you
morons, not REVOLTING) being low in caffeine (cold brewing, i.e. tap
water on the counter), and containing things that I am informed are
useful, such as vitamins and minerals and electrolytes (they think
I'm a battery, eh! Light them up, I will I will) is more useful for
re-hydration than Co-Cola, lacks the fizzy byproducts, and is very,
very cheap. Which makes it close to my heart.
Here's the ProTip. I use stolen pint
mugs from a local pub that went tits up so they don't want them back.
Keep the mugs in the freezer with about an inch of liquid. Top 'em
up with the lemon tea. No ice, no dilution, leaves the ice for x –
and – tonic. As a matter of fact, the tea rings lend a certain
essence to the vodka and grapefruit soda too.
