Pick-me-up

I wanted a little pick-me-up this afternoon. Iced tea was what I was craving. But none of that packaged shmackaged, over processed stuff! Blah. The real thing. So I boiled some water, and while that was heating up, picked my tea from my Teopia tin(thanks Uyen). When the water was ready, I poured it in my tea pot, added my little mesh, loose tea holder, and let it steap for 5 minutes or so. I like my tea strong. Then once that was ready, I took my ice from the freezer and popped two trays full into a jug. Poured in my steeped tea(which had cooled a bit),added about 3 tablespoons of agave syrup,(I like sweet too!), fresh sliced lemon, a squeeze of fresh lemon, fresh mint, and stired it up. Done. Perfect. Almost instant. Now I can sit for a few minutes, read, and soak up some heat. Summer is awesome!
