Sweet Tea

gross hahaha. Thanks for letting me try this VariaTEA you know me, always up for new epxeriences. Maybe someday you’ll find someone who likes this but it’s not going to be me! :)

Final count: 72

Cold Brew Sipdown (139)!

Well VariaTea I’ve figured out the trick to making this one palatable! The secret is to drink it when you’re really sick and stuffy, and can’t taste very well in the first place. It’s easy, really. You just need to get sick every time you want to make a pitcher.

But also, making a GIANT ASS MOTHERFUCKING PITCHER instead of just a 25 oz. cold brew, and only letting it steep for four hours instead of your typical twelve also helps a lot. It is kind of crazy though ‘cause even with all those extra precautions and the fact I’m sick and my palate is a little out of whack I can still tell that this is crazy levels of sweet and gross. It’s something to drink and keep me hydrated right now though, and the combo of extra precautions and sickness has made it palatable so I’ll probably finish the whole pitcher, surprisingly.

I wont miss it when it’s gone, though.

This song deserves to be paired with a better tea, to be honest. It’s fun and catchy, which is not what this tea is. Regardless of that, it’s what I’m listening to atm though. Someone should help me figure out who the singer reminds me of though; an actor or something? I can’t place it right now but he looks SO familiar.

I had no idea what I was in for when I tried this but what I got was essentially caramel syrup with splenda’s aftertaste. Blech! This was cloying and over-the-top and the pitcher got dumped. I am sure watering it down might have helped tone down the sweetness but alas the Splenda would remain and the aftertaste is not something I can easily get past.
