Happy Juneteenth!!! It’s been a wild ride this month filled with incredible protests, activism, personal sacrifices, thorough discussions, courage, strength, and so much more to shed light on the important fact that black lives matter. This month the act of celebrating Juneteenth is more powerful than ever before and I’m excited to take part in it this year all the way in Japan! I’m a proud black southern woman and I grew up enjoying delicious southern sweet tea on hot summer days. I remember adding lots of ice and even a little bit of water to dilute the sweet tea because at times our folks could be a bit heavy-handed with the sugar. Meaning that it can become pancake syrup in a glass lol! Today’s recipe is a Spiced Citrus Sun Tea with Mint and it is my loving homage to Juneteenth and the south!
