Southern Iced Sweet Tea Made in a French Press is a quick and easy way to make tea using tea bags or loose tea since it strains automatically after steeping. SOUTHERN SWEET TEA A French press is not just for coffee; it is so adaptable even for Southern sweet tea. I love sweet tea, and the stronger, the better. When I think of a French press, I think of making strong coffee, but one day, I thought, why not tea. I have used my French press to make my tea for the last couple of years. I pour the boiling water over the tea bags, let them steep for 4 or 5 minutes, and pour in my tea pitcher with a cup of sugar. This summer, though, I have been adding the sugar to the French press, pouring the hot water over it, giving it a couple of stirs, adding the tea bags, and then pushing the plunger down just below the water to steep, oh my so good.

Crisp Blistered Okra Recipe
Crisp Blistered Okra Recipe is a simple and fast okra dish that is crunchy, flavorful, and not at all slimy. Some like it better than fried. There is nothing like fresh okra in the summertime. I love okra any way you can cook it, but blistered okra could become my favorite way to eat it. This okra is super easy to make and takes very little prep work. What keeps the okra crisp and does not release its juices which can be gummy, is to not add any water (liquid) when cooking the okra. Another tip is to heat the avocado oil, firing hot but not burning, and then add the okra. This renders the crisp outside to the okra and a tender inside. This is also how I cook mushrooms, which makes a great compliment to the okra. Once the okra is cooked, stop stirring it. Continuing to stir the okra will change the texture of the okra, which is why it is best to cook the okra just before serving. The seasoning is straightforward, salt and pepper...
