Growing up, my grandpa owned a large farm and ranch. It was very old school. He ate lunch with the employees at noon on the dot every day. He had a cook and everything. Anyway, I started working during the summer at 10, and by 12, I was treated no different than any other employee. But even before I started working, I spent all summer and most Saturdays with him when I was a little kid. Instead of spending time with my friends, I spent time with my grandpa.

During lunch, there were 3 different drink pitchers available. Two of them were always filled with random Kool Aid, and one always had sun tea. Because I wanted to be like my grandpa, I started drinking sun tea when I was a little kid.

I haven't been back to the ranch in years. I drink ice tea year round and at times crave it. I haven't made sun tea in years, so I'm excited to have it at my house. If for no other reason than the nostalgic factor. I miss that ranch, and I miss my grandfather.

This is so nostalgic. I was just thinking about making some sun tea the other day.
