My new favorite hot weather drink

[goatkeepers]

Gosh, y'all you read too much into this!!

I guess I should explain a little more. I was born and raised in Germany (where we don't have "Tang"

) and I came over here about 6 years ago. So excuse my unfamiliarity with some of the "iconic drinks" here.

But now I know. Thank you very much!

exactly this! My mom got me hooked when I was at her house for a week at the beginning of the month. I've been addicted ever since! I thought it sounded gross at first. COLD coffee? But mmmmmm it's delicious on hot hot days!

I'm pretty sure Starbucks' Frapp... has about 700 calories in it!

ETA: I checked their website nutrition info and I was wrong! The regular coffee Frapp Grande-size is 240 calories, the Venti-size is 340.

yes but the mcdonalds one doesnt have as many as starbucks.. the regular cap. contains (lg) has 110 cal 0 fat. and the hazelnut (I like this one) has 250 (20oz)

Hum. Anyone tried this recipe for "russian tea"? It has a lot more juices in it...

8 cups water
5 bags tea
1 cup sugar
16 oz orange juice
8 oz pineapple juice
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cloves

do you think that tea recipe would work using green tea bags? It sounds like it would taste awesome!

 

[goatkeepers]

I bet it would. I don't htink I will make it like that though. I will use the recipe on (I think it's) page one of this topic. Just Tang, no pineapple juice.

BTW, I just came back from the store and bought some TANG.

Y'all proud of me??

I'm making Russian Tea on Friday when we have our family over for dinner.

my family has always had sweetened iced tea in the frigerator, Ive said thats why people live into their 90's in my family. Ive been buying the Litpton cold brew tea bags, add cold water and you have tea in 15 minutes. I make my iced coffee with low fat flavored creamer and 1% milk and splenda. yummy
