Best Sweet Tea, Ever!

I grew up in Louisiana and we drank Community Coffee.   But us southerners also drank tea.  Alot of tea.  Just recently, my sister and I went to Richmond to look for some bathtubs for her bathroom.  We stopped off and had lunch and our waitress brought us sweet tea.  Before she even set it down I could smell that this was going to be awesome tea.  I am not kidding.  It was the best tea ever!  What is funny is that it was Community tea.  So I had to order some.  You can order at there website here.  But my tea was never as good.  Until, I came across a recipe. A secret you could say.  Who knew you needed a recipe for tea.  But this is it! 

4 cups of water
1/4 tsp. baking soda
12 regular tea bags
1 1/2 cups of sugar
12 cups of  cold water

Boil 4 cups of water
add 1/4 tsp of baking soda and 12 regular tea bags in a glass bowl
pour boiling water over tea bags
cover and steep 15 minutes
then add sugar and stir until completely disolved
then add 12 cups of cold water
then sit in fridge and let it get cold

I don't use any metal other than the pot to boil the water.  I find that metal ladles or plastic containers change the taste of the tea.

Once chilled sit back and enjoy the best sweet tea EVER!  Oh, if you want less bitter coffee you can add 1/4 tsp to the coffee grounds.  It makes for a smooth coffee!  Enjoy!

Seeded Watermelon

I have had a hard time finding seeded watermelon.  And that isn't the only fruit or vegtable that I have a hard time finding, oranges, cucumber, etc.  See, the Torah says in Gen 1:29, "And Elohim said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."  That means that the fruit should have seed, which means there is life inside.  If there is no seed there is no life.  We are just eating dead food.  I don't want to eat dead food.  So, the other day my daughter and I took a roadtrip for the day and took some back roads and came across a roadside farmer's market.  And they had seeded watermelon.  Among other great goodies.  I got it for $5.oo.  Woo Hoo!  We had the best time that day. 

So to share with you a recipe I came across from Andrea Beaman.  I changed the recipe a little.  You can view the original here.  It is so good!  Words cannot describe.  You wouldn't think this would be good but the contrast of sweet of the watermelon and the saltness of the israeli feta.  Oh my! 

Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad

Put watermelon into a sieve and let it drain some of it’s liquid. Discard the liquid. Put watermelon, cucumber, feta and olives into a bowl. Whisk olive oil, vinegar, oregano and sea salt and black pepper to taste. Toss with Watermelon Salad and serve.

Oh, please use fresh oregano it is so much better for you than dried.  And eat the seeds!!!  Enjoy!
