A friend of mine experimented with flavoring her own black tea with raspberry—with very nice results. No nasty hibiscus to gum up the mix, just a good Assam with fruit. A nice, well-rounded balance. I cold steeped some in the fridge overnight with a sprig of chocolate mint from my own back porch. Chocolate raspberry mint goodness—no, scratch that—superbness.
Of course, the fact that our air conditioner has been broken for two days and I had come in from mowing the ditchy part of our yard sweating battery acid made it three times as tasty. Fall can’t get here soon enough for me! :)

Ooooooh! That sounds wonderful! Not the broken a/c part, though. My mother ran the a/c fully cranked all the time. I said she was happier that I married someone who can repair air conditioners than if I had married a brain surgeon! You could hang hams in her house.
Guy was here yesterday…$173 later, it’s pumping cooler air but I’m not entirely sure the whole problem is fixed. It’s turned me into an AC-OCD…straining to listen: is the fan on? is the compressor going? is the fan ever going to turn off?
