No fireworks for us, we have to stay inside so the dogs can cower under our feet everytime a neighbor sets off a bomb! I have a small, shuddering dog under my desk right now

Hi Janet...Hope U OK 2day....Mmmm...U sure kn how 2 GROSS...LOL... the RUM one sounds jus like " Cup 'o tea "...LOL.... I drink Ice Tea wen I come over 2 Fla:, but U kn Janet, there's Tea & theres TEA...Yrs sounds a lttl strange with the Lables tho, not 2 worry, it may B an aquired taste... I hope U use ROUND ICE, I find the SQUARE CUBES r a lttl harsh on the flavour...U kn kinda rough, but if U add Whiskey...it's fine, a kinda " Tea-on-the-ROCKS " aint a bad thing, specialy after a hard days Fishin or sun bathin....LOL...
Tell Me COUNTER, do U work in a Store, a TEA Shop..., do U Guys have those TEA SHOPS over there tooo..., I don't mean those ALL U can eat places, Lmho...I mean the lttl rooms where TEA & fine pasteries r served b'twee 11am till 4pm... where one HAS 2 wear a TIE, & make sure ones Shoes r polished, & r able 2 stick ones lttl finger out whilst sippin, & never utter a word, jus NOD ones head 2 the Ladies, IF they smile at U, ( One should NVR smile at the Ladies first... it's jus NOT CRICKET...'Ole Dear...) U C, the TRUE English TEA IS taken quite Seriously, even 2day, it's what us Brits like 2 call part of Our Great British Institution, 3'oclock, IS the official time 4 Tea...but ME...ANYTIME will do, U can't beat a GOOD cuppa char...LOL...
So U enjoy Yrs Janet, & I'll TRY Yr Recipies...FANX...Chris.....

Hi Chris!

We do have tea rooms over here...some of them are more straight laced than others

I don't go to the high falutin' ones...don't like ties

I have included the REAL mix for Long Island Ice Tea as you can see...tea is ahhh....optional
