Tea-riffic!

July 27, 2005

Everybody loves a good pun now and then. And everybody also loves a good batch of sweet tea. So, when I didn’t have time to make a separate trip to a “regular” grocery store this weekend to pick up a box of Luzianne, I found myself perusing the selection of weird hippie tea at Whole Foods. I recognized Tazo tea from Starbucks, and picked out a flavor, “Passion,” that sounded, if not tasty, at least interesting.

I love this crap. It’s no southern-style sweet tea, but it’s very, very good. Obviously I feel like a traitor and a hippie for drinking it, but I don’t care. Check it out.

    Sure, it starts out that way. But soon enough you are humming “Eyes of the World”, asking random people for “A Miracle”, eating grilled cheese thrice a day, and wiping your ass with the American flag!

    Then, god forbid, when the dope runs low, you’ll start buying Lipton!

    Go back to whar frumst ya came, ya damnibble hippah !

    Ah, my southern sweet tea has been splenda-fied (note, not Splenda FRIED!)

    Take 1 Quart water + 1 family size lipton tea bag. Set range to medium and let steep for 20 minutes (being careful NOT to boil)

    Then add 3/4 cup splenda or sugar as desired and fill 1/2 gallon pitcher with cold water.

    Textdrive rules!

    as you yourself are well aware, my grammar sucks. matt, i cant believe you sold out. Anyway, splenda sucks and is bad for you. You should drink earl grey green sweet tea it rocks. My cats breath smells like cat food.

Have your say

Don’t be a jerk.
