History of Iced Tea.

1879 – The oldest sweet tea recipe (ice tea) in print comes from a community cookbook called Housekeeping in Old Virginia, by Marion Cabell Tyree, published in 1879:

Ice Tea. – After scalding the teapot, put into it one quart of boiling water and two teaspoonfuls green tea. If wanted for supper, do this at breakfast. At dinner time, strain, without stirring, through a tea strainer into a pitcher. Let it stand till tea time and pour into decanters, leaving the sediment in the bottom of the pitcher. Fill the goblets with ice, put two teaspoonfuls granulated sugar in each, and pour the tea over the ice and sugar. A squeeze of lemon will make this delicious and healthful, as it will correct the astringent tendency.

Aquarium Month. Who has an aquarium? Why not post a picture of your aquarium on your blog this month? Leave a comment, and I’ll link back. I would love to have an aquarium full of fish, but I’ve killed all the fish I ever had. Poor fishies!

Dairy Month. I love cheese. I drink hot chocolate (milk) for breakfast every morning. That sounds like enough of a celebration for me.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month.
Favorite fruit: Strawberries.
