Family note

What makes this ours

Now some may laugh at placing this recipe in this cookbook, but Yankee visitors to our home really like our iced tea. The last time Tony traveled for work, he was in Chicago and when he asked if the tea was sweet, no one knew what he was talking about! And he was served instant tea, to boot!
