O.k..so I did not make it back in time to post anything yesterday.
The VA always takes a long time and yesterday was no exception. Labs at 10:30…waiting…check in….waiting….waiting…pharmacy…waiting….
You get it right? So they increased the amounts of Marc’s pain meds and scheduled him for consults with other specialists. I am telling you, they have practically turned the man inside out in the past couple of months.
Believe it or not, the VA Hospital in Dallas has a Starbucks. I thought that was so funny. I mean, we can multi-task, and head for the VA for our coffee dates.
Anyway..the weather is getting warmer and it will soon be time to switch to iced tea. I have been thinking about my version of You-Know-Who ’s Passionfruit Iced tea..
Oh, the pitcher is old. I am not sure where it came from, but it was my mom’s and it has, to my knowledge, NEVER been used in the last 48 years! Pretty though.
This makes a half- gallon of passion-fruit tea, but add the syrup to the glass as you pour the tea for best results.
1/3 c Adagio Passionfruit Tea
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 gallon of water
1-2 Tbs Toriani Passionfruit syrup per glass
cracked ice
Blood orange, lime, and lemon slices for garnish
Bring 2 quarts of cold, filtered water with 1 1/2 cups of sugar stirred in, to the boil, but do not boil it. When it is about to boil remove from heat and add the tea. Allow to steep for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into a pitcher through a strainer. Allow to come to room temperature before chilling.
To Serve:
Fill shaker with cracked ice. Add syrup and tea. Shake and pour into frosted glasses.
