I bought tons of this a long time ago when it was on sale. I haven’t been drinking it much lately, but cold tea season is here.

My day began at 6:45 am going out to feed the chickens. Then I started working on a bed of shrubbery that was planted over 50 years ago by the original owners of the house. Do you know how hard it is to clear a bed after that long?

I worked an hour outside and came in to homeschool daughter. When she started some extensive written work, I went back out and worked another 2 1/2 hours, digging up roots and buried bricks and saplings that have sprung up and liriope that has spread higgledy-piggledy.

By the time I came in I was red as a beet and nauseated because I am a total wimp in heat. It was past time to eat but I just couldn’t face it. I rested a while, had a small lunch, and then the thungries hit. You remember that Nestle Quik commercial? No? That is because 95% of you are too young to remember it!

I looked around for something and thought of this. Perfect! I needed to keep my energy up because we had company coming. I mixed it with my aerolatte right in the glass, and drank it through a straw. SLURP! Just right.
