Hello! My name is Savannah. Let’s practice some easy reading!

It’s hot now! We needto drink a lot of water. Some people drink beer. Some people drink cold tea. In my hometown, we drink tea, too! We drink sweet tea.

Sweet tea?! It’s really good! But, yes, it is sweet. How do you make it?

First, make hot black tea. Make the tea really strong. While its still hot, add sugar! You can add sugar to taste. (My mom adds 1 cup of sugar in 4 cups of tea!) After that, put it in a big pitcher. Fill the pitcher with some cold water. This will help the flavor. Then, put it in the refrigerator. After a while, serve over ice! 

It’s a popular drink in my hometown, Texas. It’s also popular in many southern states. You should try it one day!

What’s your favorite summer food or drink? Let’s talk about it!
