Things are going well at the store. We are maintaining our hours for in-person shopping… 10-4 weekdays and 9-3 Saturday. We are closed Sunday and Monday. We are still also accepting by-mail or pick-up orders if you choose not to come down in person.
It’s been hot here in Penticton these past few weeks. Drinking lots of water? Don’t forget there’s lots of choices to make an interesting and TASTY ICED TEA.
Simple and quick iced tea:
- In a small saucepan, bring the 2-1/4 cups water to a gentle boil.
- Add the tea bags or loose leaf tea strainer of your choice,
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and
- Cover. Steep for 15 minutes.
- Remove the tea strainer or tea bags without squeezing them (which would add bitterness) and pour the steeped tea into a 2-1/2-quart heatproof container (like a large Pyrex liquid measure).
- Add 6 cups cold water and mix. Let cool at room temperature and then refrigerate until cold.
- Serve over ice, garnished with your choice of additives including sugar, lemon wedges, and mint sprigs.
