Free World Wide Web Goodies

I haven’t lived in Maine since the Summer of 2007 but that doesn’t deter me from reading the Portland Press Herald every Wednesday. Why you ask- well Wednesday happens to be the day they feature a Food and Health section. It always features an article on wine, “on the lighter side” recipes which shows healthy alternatives to gut-bombing dishes, and usually has a couple good features on food in the community.
Taking after my father, who is sometimes referred to as King Crow, I love to hunt for the deals so this Morning I was pleasantly surprised with an article entitled Fun with Freebies. Who doesn’t dig a bargain, but free stuff- how could it get any better? Basically this woman shares all of these websites to browse to order free samples of products. Some of them are not really up my alley, such as a coupon for a 2 liter of Dr. Pepper or Splenda packets with added fiber (SICK), where other products seem totally legit: free Yogi Tea samplers and Lindt truffles- sign me up! We are quickly approaching delicious Iced Tea season so hopefully those free Yogi samples don’t take forevez to get here.
Refreshing Iced Tea
5 bags black tea
2 bags blueberry white tea
3 slices of lemon rind (do not include bitter white pith)
1 1/2 tsp honey (can add or subtract depending on sweetness desired)
Add the above contents to a large pitcher or Jar with a lid and pour boiling water halfway up the container
Let tea bags steep for 3-5 minutes, squeeze and then discard
Add enough ice to top it off and then let chill in the fridge.
When you’re feeling a little saussy you can also add some Tanqueray and lemon flavored tonic water to the above iced tea for a refreshing summer cocktail!
