Hello everyone!
How was everyone's bank holiday weekends? Mine was LUSH! It was so relaxing and I am literally in love all this sunshine! I seem to have escaped sunburn so far, apart from a random patch on the top of my foot and personally I think this is an achievement!
I had a BBQ last night and it was amazing! Steak, kebabs and salad, perfect! Why does BBQ food taste so much better than normal food?!
Anyway, to accompany my BBQ I decided to make my own Iced Tea. Last year I became obsessed with Costa's Iced Tea, I think it could possibly have been classed as an addiction. So, as you can imagine, when they suddenly stopped making it, I was not a happy bunny. I had to resort to Lipton's for my fix but it just wasn't the same. Now its summer time again and I really have been craving it.
Summer project No. 1: Find good Iced Tea recipe and make some!
I found a recipe online that looked pretty simple and thought I'd give it a try. You can find this recipe here!
Literally all you do is stew some darjeeling tea bags for five minutes, stir in a couple of tablespoons of sugar and leave to cool. Add some juice of your choice and pour over ice!
Even I could cope with this recipe! Now I couldn't find peach juice to make my favourite peach iced tea so I settled for passion fruit. It was actually really nice! It wasn't perfect but I was quite impressed! It had a definite tea after taste which didn't really please me all that much as I'm not a tea drinker. I think with a few tweaks this recipe would be really good.
If anyone know of a good recipe then send it my way, I'm a woman on a mission!!! Also, if anyone has any contacts with Costa (unlikely I know) would you express my view that Iced Tea should be a permanent fixture on their menus!
What were you up to this May Day weekend? Let me know in the comments!
Au revoir x
