whimsical wednesday

it's stay cool during the dog days of summer for whimsical wednesday!  for my activity, i made a new and very tasty iced tea  that is very refreshing! try my recipe:

green/citrus iced tea

to a large pitcher (i used a 3 quart, if yours is larger or smaller, adjust proportions accordingly)  add:

3 green tea bags (tags, if attached, cut off)
1/2 to 1 cup sugar, depending on sweetness desired (i used 3/4 cup of splenda)
1 lemon and 1 lime cut into quarters, squeezed, then dropped into the pitcher

while preparing the pitcher, bring fresh, cold water to a boil.
pour boiling water over ingredients in pitcher to at least half full.
cover the pitcher and let steep for about 15 minutes.
fill the rest of the pitcher with fresh, cold water.

pour over ice in tall glasses (or put in refrigerator for later).
garnish glasses with mint sprig.
enjoy!
