Iced Tea Weather

Freshly brewed iced tea is the best, and with a slice of lemon, it is delicious. And as the mercury rises, my thirst for this delectable beverage increases dramatically. Lipton makes a "cold brew" tea bag which sufficiently satisfies my hankering, but I think the freshly brewed can't be beat! While touring around South Africa, Botswana and Zambia, where the temperatures hover between 85-95 degrees most days, one would think they would have this drink everywhere, as this is a no brainer (especially how hot it is there and most places serve hot teas and coffees to boot!) Why no iced tea I kept wondering? As the trip progressed, I asked all dining establishments for freshly brewed iced tea and not one restaurant/deli/B&B had it! The best they could do came out of a can...a disappointment, but thankfully, not insurmountable when I decided to switch to a cold Savannah instead!

BSoleille! The bright side of a large glass of unsweetened iced tea (with lemon!)
