Beat the heat-Monthly mingle

August 8, 2006

Ginger Lemon Iced tea

 

I love iced tea. In fact I love tea in any form. A post solely dedicated to brewing good tea has been long on my mind, and it will come soon.

When Meeta asked us what would one do to beat the heat-my immediate answer was- a tall glass of chilled iced tea. In fact that’s the drink I like to have best, when I come home after being outdoors in the harsh afternoon sun. In Mumbai, summers are pretty ruthless. We face the kind of temperatures everyday at which California reports a 100 deaths due to sunstrokes. May be Indians are genetically programmed to bear this kind of sun.

    I don’t know about the indian thing. Surely, Indian’s know about heat. I’m from Florida and we survive similar heat index values over the summer, when compared to california. The iced tea recipe is fantastic! Thanks.
