Red Tea

This here is a right flavorful drink that don’t have none of them fourteen syllable words that are on the labels of the cans and bottles of them fructose-laced, flavored teas like you can buy in your local C-store. A course, you know that you have to pay extra fer all of them syllables, -oses, extra calories and warnings.

You might pay a dollar or two fer one them drinks that’s eventually gonna’ kill you from all them chemicals that’s in ‘em. If not, you surely stand a purty good chance of catching diabetes. This here drink that ye’re gonna’ learn how to make here is only gonna’ cost you about 45 cents each and it’s a whole lot more healthy fer you.

Here’s how to make this drink fer yerself. First, ye’re gonna’ need six bottles of water. The best size is about 16-20 ounces per bottle.

You’ll also need five teabags of green tea. Any quality brand will do but Grandpa Wilbur favors the ones with Matcha mixed in. Matcha is very finely ground tea and it puts a whole lot more flavor into the tea than standard teabags. It’s a little more expensive but still a whole lot cheaper than buying them chemicalized and fructose-laced drinks in the C-store.

If there is Costco near where you live, and you have a membership, you can get green tea with Matcha there. The only other ingredient that ye’re gonna’ need is cranberry juice.

First, you take and empty out five of them water bottles into a pitcher or sun tea jar. Pour the sixth one into the dog’s dish or a flower pot because you ain’t gonna’ need the water but ye’re gonna’l need the bottle.

Second, you put five green tea bags into the water and leave it set to cold brew fer an hour or two.

Third, when that tea is all brewed up to nice deep yellow-green color then you wanna’ take and pour it into them six empty water bottles up to about three-fourths full.

Last, top the bottles off with cranberry juice, re-cap them and put them into the fridge to chill.
You can vary the tea to cranberry ratio as yer tasters prefer but most everyone, except fer muh grandkids, think that this has just the right amount of tart, sweet and tea flavor.
