We win contests for our tap water. When I go out of town, the first thing I do when I get home is pour myself a big glass of “Independence’ finest”.

sweeteners in all drinks but the occasional latte several years ago when I gave up diet coke. I'm really glad I did. But, yeah, there are days I still crave it.

I do use plain stevia (no additional ingredients, i.e., Sweetleaf brand) for my lattes, but I can drink regular coffee black.

late morning/early p.m., after my one or two cups of coffee.
After that it's hot or iced tea, depending on the weather. Usually an herbal tea - lemon ginger or chamomile.

Life is good.

9. Left Over Beer

I had a draw of draft Irish Red left over from St. Patrick’s. It was fresh and cool and foamy and, best of all, half off: S3.00 instead of $6.00. So I had another half. It cost $1.50 but by my way of thinking, that beer was free. So one beer half off plus another beer for free — not a bad way to start the weekend. Pretty lucky, the luck of the Irish even if I’m not Irish.

Its blue,the tea you drink... and if you don't make it too strong its delicious.
Should be a light sky blue.
Got a frosty tall big glass full of it with tons of ice and a long straw.
