0:00
- You know, down South we love our tea, our iced tea.
0:04
We drink much more iced tea than we do hot tea.
0:09
So I've got my water boiling over here,
0:13
and I've got two family sized tea bags that I'm gonna put
0:19
into my boiling water,
0:21
and we're gonna let that steep for 15 minutes,
0:24
and I'm gonna be making us a mango lime tea.
0:29
It's gonna be delicious.
0:30
We can sit on the front porch
0:31
and rock and have our glass of iced tea.
0:34
Theresa, we can gossip.
0:37
You can tell me all about everything
0:39
'cause I know nothing. (laughs)
0:46
Okay, y'all, it's been 15 minutes,
0:50
and I'm gonna remove our tea bags.
0:54
And I have always, since the first day I made tea,
0:58
always squeezed every juice bit out of my tea bags.
1:06
Old habits die hard, y'all. (laughs)
1:09
All right, so I want to tell y'all this now.
1:12
The recipe that you're gonna find printed
1:15
along with this video is a full recipe.
1:18
I'm only making a half a recipe
1:22
because we're going out of town again tomorrow
1:25
and there won't be anybody here to drink it.
1:29
I think half the recipe we can get it drank,
1:34
All right, let's see.
1:40
I was looking for my little sifter nifter.
1:45
All right, so I used two cups
1:52
of boiling water to steep our two bags in.
1:58
And I've got a half a cup
2:00
of sugar that I'm dissolving in here.
2:10
And this looks like nice, good, strong tea.
2:16
All right, I have how much lime juice do I have?
2:20
A half of a fourth of a cup.
2:25
I'd have to look on one of my spatulas for conversion.
2:30
Which one's got the conversion?
2:32
With me halfing this recipe, it calls for,
2:36
the full recipe calls for a fourth of a cup,
2:39
so I'm gonna do 1/8 of a cup,
2:43
which is two tablespoons of lime juice.
2:46
So 1/8 of a cup is two tablespoons, Theresa.
2:51
See, we don't even have to remember that.
2:54
- [Theresa] I like that.
2:56
Just keep our bowl scraper close by.
3:03
All right, it was like a half a teaspoon left,
3:06
so I just put it all in there.
3:08
All right, I wanna show y'all the mango nectar
3:17
And you'll see the full recipe calls
3:21
for one cup, but we are using a half a cup of mango nectar,
3:27
and you can find this in your grocery store
3:30
in the international section at your grocery store.
3:36
So now we wanna add enough water.
3:42
In the recipe that you would be making,
3:45
we'd wanna add enough water to bring it to half a gallon.
3:56
That recipe would make one gallon.
3:57
It's confusing when I'm doing half a recipe.
4:12
I was hoping it would be a little bit
4:15
- [Theresa] I think you can add as much, you know, I mean,
4:17
like this is another one of those.
4:19
If you wanna add more mango into that.
4:21
I think you should add some more water.
4:23
- Yeah, or more mango. (laughs)
4:30
All right, the full recipe would yield you one gallon,
4:34
but we are making a half a gallon,
4:36
which would be two quarts, right?
4:40
- And I'm gonna go get some more ice
4:43
and I'm gonna add some chunks of mango to it.
4:49
And I'm gonna sit back and I'm gonna have a glass now.
4:53
Would you like a glass, Theresa?
4:55
And we're gonna go the porch and gossip.
4:57
- [Theresa] Absolutely.
4:59
- Well, get you a glass, honey, 'cause I only got one glass.
5:04
- [Theresa] That's okay.
5:06
I'll meet you at the porch.
5:07
- Look at that. Okay.
5:17
I want y'all to see this glass.
5:18
I don't know if you can tell it.
5:21
I would think when you put liquid in it.
5:25
My partner, Bob McManus.
5:26
- [Eddie] It's not really showing up.
5:27
- It's not really showing up, is it?
5:29
Let me get one that's...
5:33
- [Theresa] Still see it?
5:33
- Maybe still see a little bit.
5:37
My partner in PDV, in Paula Deen Ventures, is Bob McManus,
5:43
and for my birthday this January
5:48
he could not be here to help us celebrate,
5:52
but he sent me this set of glasses, y'all,
5:55
with a picture of me and my three dogs.
6:00
- [Eddie] Well, maybe put, yeah, blue behind that.
6:03
It'll show up. - Oh, okay. Yeah.
6:05
Good thinking, Eddie.
6:13
All right, how about that, when it's just solid?
6:15
- [Eddie] Yeah, when it's solid.
6:17
- But I thought that was the neatest birthday gift.
6:28
To my partner at Paula Deen Family Kitchens.
6:38
We got some gossip to do. (laughs)
6:43
- Hey, y'all, it's Paula Deen.
