This is a simple recipe for the perfect glass of “Canadian” iced tea. The name is (of course) a joke. The iced tea is lightly sweetened with real maple syrup. Maple syrup is Canadian…. that’s it. That’s the joke. This recipe is in no way endorsed by any actual Canadians.
It’s starting to warm up down here in Florida, and my husband decided he wanted to start making homemade iced tea, so we invented (ha!) this. It came out so perfect that I decided it needed to make it on the blog, so everyone can have a glass while they work on the their spring and summer makes. Yes, this is still a crafts blog. I’ll show you what I’m making while drinking this very soon!

My SEO optimizer says I need to make this post 600 words long. So here’s eight extra sentences, bringing it to 211 words. Not even close. Utter failure. Those weren’t even sentences. Never going to be a real blogger. What do you want me to say about iced tea? Have a lovely day!
