My late grandmother, known to her grandkids as Nanny, spent most of her adult life in Florida.

Nanny wasnt a made-from-scratch kind of cook.

Her brownies and cakes camefrom boxed mixes.

She loved to Shake n Bake.

She even drank instant coffee.

But Nanny took her iced tea seriously.

Did she use a different throw in of tea?

It tasted tangier than usual too.

When it was regular iced tea, I was a little disappointed.

Instead of black tea, sometimes Ill use ginger tea, which adds an extra kick.

Im sure she would approve, I just wish we could enjoy a glass together.
