My throw-it-in-the-fridge-with-a-lemon jag continues. After squeezing and zesting a lemon to attempt homemade pesto yesterday, I tossed the squoze-out fruit in a jar with a couple bags of this cheap, but serviceable green tea.

Quality green teas don’t usually cold steep well for me, but cheapies do fine. There’s enough flavor in the base you can tell it’s a green tea, but it isn’t bitter; the strawberry leans toward candy flavor, but isn’t unpleasantly artificial.

How was the pesto? Sounds labor intensive.

Not too bad—toast pine nuts in skillet, throw in food processor (we tried a blender, which wasn’t ideal) with basil, lemon juice, garlic, a little grated Parmesan. That’s about as advanced as I get ;)

Sounds yummy. I’d probably add too much cheese :)
