We live in an age that holds our mind in a cage. This age calls darkness ‘Light’. We no longer hold the key. Our spirit never gets to set free.
.
TV turned our minds into a black mirror; black mirror knows no reflection. It is wrapped around with endless needs, wants, greed, pride, vanity, backstabbing, propaganda, bombarding, politics, hide-‘n-seek with the truth.
Life becomes a curse.
To break the curse, I’ve stopped watching TV. It’s been a year. Friends, books, prayers and gardening replaced TV and LIFE is going as GOOD as it gets.

A serene, peaceful life has a lot to do with Iced Tea. .

This eye-catchingly tall pitcher, my Spring pitcher has more to offer than some Iced Tea. It demonstrate about catching the colors and the beauty of nature, hunting down some sunshine and gently drinking life to the fullest. This pitcher celebrates an uncomplicated bind of sweet, tart, woody, earthy adoration of all natural ingredients. A healthy dose of fresh fruits into the smooth, chilled texture of the beverage wraps up the whole thing with love and joy.

Ingredients:
6 cups water
2 regular individual sized tea bag
6 tbsp honey/sugar
1 stick cinnamon ( which gives it just the right amount of zing)
Freshly squeezed lemon juice of 2 lemons
Slices of Orange, Lemon, Lime. Or Cucumber.

All those terrific fruity flavors mingle and waltz in the tea overnight which makes your sip extra special and distinctive ! And the sweet-tart taste goes beautifully with sweet as well as savory food. Enjoy the drink year-round indoor as well as outdoor. This lovely, satisfying beverage guarantees to win your heart.

Nothing lasts forever; that’s the way it is. The ocean is shaking under your feet. But you can cross the ocean, you can make it through, if you hold the key of your soul. Don’t let TV, the Demon, be your key-holder, torch-bearer.

My husband is a Southern boy and loves his sweet ice tea. When I moved to the States from England many years ago, I was shocked to see tea treated this way! I still don’t drink ice tea!! However, my children are true Texans and so I make it for them. Love your beautiful shots of true Southern sweet tea.

It is very interesting to notice how much effort you spend for each of your entry. This particular one is not just making some tea for a sip, this is more like directing a movie. You must have gone out to buy that nice pitcher, thought of the color contrast of green and yellow citrus beforehand, bought the perfect shaped ones, made perfect slices of them, made the floral arrangement, made the tea, garnished it with the mint, took those nice photos and spent time on the computer for some nice tints and effects! May be the actual process of making the tea took much smaller portion of you time compared to the whole process of the presenting it. But, WOW, the outcome is so outstanding, that even people in the cold countries will crave for a sunny day just so that they can enjoy that ice cold iced tea. Your passion for the details and beauty is just amazing.
And you sure know how to make someone’s day by your delightful presence ! Thanks a bunch for those lovely complements 🙂
hey Nusrat….amazingggg photography. Loved the photos much.crisp colors n radiant vibes.:D…great job.!!

My bad ! Just added lemon juice in the ingredient list 🙂 Couple of lemons should be good enough. Many thanks for visiting.
