It's great on a cold day when you've been outside ever since school let out.<BR/><BR/>There was a pond about 100 yards from our house and we couldn't wait for it to freeze over. I lived on skates until I was eighteen...<BR/><BR/>There was also this great sledding hill at the end of our neighborhood that went straight down for a quarter of a mile and emptied out on a street. There was a rope and concrete barrier just before you hit the street; the trick was to flatten yourself and slide under the rope at the end of a successful run.<BR/><BR/>How none of us were hit by cars or decapitated by that rope still escapes me.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527241089629026268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900113077178420191.post-66864761191480169502008-02-03T14:45:00.000-08:002008-02-03T14:45:00.000-08:00This is similar to the recipe I posted here: http...This is similar to the recipe I posted here: http://t-moms.blogspot.com/2007/11/freezing-freezing-freezing.html <BR/><BR/>I love the stuff. I go through 3 or 4 batches every winter. Like you say, strictly speaking it's not really tea (or Russian), but it's sure good when it's cold outside!T-Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598655128676657203noreply@blogger.com
