It's great to hear that others resonate with the refreshment of good ole southern sweet tea (yes, Kathryn, I "get" the phonetics on that :) understand) Heather, I can't keep up with all your comings and goings! Wow, Argentina now! I know God is using you to bless many!<br /> Valorie Quesenberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268306348628523969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103242719647369378.post-24639896371847558202014-05-19T20:28:43.108-04:002014-05-19T20:28:43.108-04:00Cute post, Valorie.

I grew up in TN and my Moma sweetened each gallon of iced tea with 2 cups of sugar PLUS saccerin.<br />Of course, we don't use saccerin anymore, probably not the best for you, but we still serve sweetened iced tea to our guests (when we are state side. =) <br /><br />Jesus and life have us in a NEW country, and it's fun to learn the ENGLISH traditions here in Argentina. One of our friends just visited the only tea plantation in the US in N. Carolina...and they have a sign saying that the closet tea plantations are Argentina, and another country. =) <br />There is nearly a WHOLE grocery aisle dedicated to teas here. <br />And interestingly enough most if not all stores are opened in the morning until 1:30 or so, THEN CLOSE SEVERAL HOURS FOR "TEA"...and open back up at 4:30 or so until 7:00 or 8:00, after which they close and go eat SUPPER. Lots of tea shops here, with fun pastries and scones as well. =)<br /><br />And since God has a sense of humor, He has us not only learning the European Argentine culture, but the CHINESE culture as well. =) So, now we have learned to drink and serve "Chinese tea" which is hot green tea made from tea leaves, and served in little tiny cups, no sugar added. =)<br /><br />Hoping all is going GREAT your way.<br />(((HUGS))),<br />~Heather~The Dickinsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689122652341720167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103242719647369378.post-4131435366811730212014-05-16T10:00:49.783-04:002014-05-16T10:00:49.783-04:00This is a fun post- of course, as you know, down h...This is a fun post- of course, as you know, down here it's called simply 'tea' (as unsweetened is sacrilege) and pronounced, "SWATE TAY." There's always a gallon of it or homemade lemonade in our fridge. Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541567330511968163noreply@blogger.com
