I squeeze a Florida lemon, then add all the juice and enough unsweetened tea to make a 10 oz. glass. Instead of sugar or the fake stuff, I use stevia, a natural herbal sweetener. So delicious and healthy.<BR/>Melanie@Bella~MellaMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238679303715431171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870729242048589009.post-49028889389099860652009-03-09T08:31:00.000-05:002009-03-09T08:31:00.000-05:00Rachel, you need to go to the following link and p...Rachel, you need to go to the following link and pick up your award.

I was born in the south, in fact at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee. I was raised on southern iced tea! What a wonderful and interesting beginning to your blog.

As an avid cook, baker, and someone who loves sweet tea, I'm so glad you are capturing what it's like to be a Southern Lady! Even though i'm not a native Southerner, I've been embraced as such by my new friends of the South. Thanks for sharing the brief history of tea, as I've long been a lover of tea, even before I moved to GA. The cookbook selections you've shared will help me to know which one I want to add to my collection now! Thanks so kindly! Again...a very sweet Southern Blog that I will visit often! ;) ~CC Catherine~CC Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792691562262851929noreply@blogger.com
