Iced Tea Sparkle

April 27, 2008 by

Delicious anytime, but especially in the warmer months.

6 regular tea bags (not the flavored kinds)
3 cups boiling water
1 28-oz. bottle of lemon-lime flavored soda (Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist, etc.)
Ice cubes

Place tea bags in a pot or teapot and pour the boiling water over; steep for 5 minutes then remove and toss out the bags. Pour into a large pitcher and let stand at room temperature to cool – this will take about 1 hour.

Stir in the soda. Place some ice cubes in glasses and add the iced tea.

Please, Have A Seat

quality-barstools_1893_1386850.gifFor about five years now I’ve been visualizing my future dream kitchen. One of the things I will be incorporating into it is a big, wide, island counter with a few bar stools on the side. The kind of bar stool that I have in mind would be a lattice-back type. Swivel or not, makes no matter to me. Inviting family and friends over to gather in my kitchen at a “deli-style” counter area is one of my greatest ideas; perhaps with some Bruce Hornsby music in the background.

Everybody has a personal preference on what type of bar stool they’d prefer, but if you want to build your own or pick and choose from a myriad of colors, materials, and styles then Quality Bar Stool is the place to go. They even have indoor/outdoor stools! If you like the retro look, they’ve got ’em. If you click on the category entitled Aluminum Bar Stools, I think you’d agree that #1700 is a beauty and would go well in a contemporary or eclectic kitchen.

With both residential and commercial collections, as well as discount pricing from the top manufacturer’s in the nation, you can’t go wrong. Check them out for yourself.
