Delicious and Simple Lemon and Honey Iced Tea
Delicious and Simple Lemon Honey Iced Tea
For everyone who wants a refreshing drink this summer, but doesn't want the chemicals or processed sugar that come with the mixes you can purchase at the supermarket. Iced tea is so easy to make! Try varying the types of tea you use, to come up with deliciously unique combinations.
You'll Need:
- Heavy duty heat-safe glass jug with lid (I like making mine in Bormioli Rocco Frigoverre Jugs
). Between 1-2 liters in size
- 2-4 black tea bags (Earl Grey also makes delicious iced tea)
- 1-4 tablespoons of honey (optional: no need if you like it unsweetened)
- 1/2-1 lemon, freshly squeezed (can also substitute limes)
- Plop a few tea bags in the jug. Pour boiling water over, and let steep for anywhere from 5-10 minutes or longer if you like really strong tea.
- Remove tea bags after the tea has reached the strength level you prefer.
- Add the squeeze of honey and lemon juice to the jug while the tea is hot, so that the honey in particular gets thoroughly blended into the tea.
- Refrigerate the tea, and serve once cold with plenty of ice and a wedge of additional lemon or lime. It's SO refreshing and good!

Recipe Found (Already!) - for Key Lime Fudge (with No Chocolate)
You Kitchen Crafts 'n' More readers are an impressive bunch. I've already received some of the requested recipes from yesterday's newsletter. This Key Lime fudge recipe was submitted by Cindy, who says it's the one she always uses. It sounds SO good, and so different than the typical chocolate fudge. Enjoy!
Key Lime Fudge
3 cups white chocolate baking pieces
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons finely shredded lime peel
2 tablespoons bottled Key Lime juice or regular lime juice
Line an 8-by-8-by-2-inch or 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over the edges of pan. Butter foil; set aside.
Stir baking pieces and sweetened condensed milk in a large heavy saucepan over low heat just until pieces are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in lime peel and lime juice. Spread mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Cover and chill for two hours or until firm. Lift the fudge from pan using edges of foil. Peel off foil and use a knife to cut fudge into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Makes 2 1/2 pounds or 64 servings.Labels: fudge recipes, key lime fudge, key limes, limes, recipe requests
