- Hey friends are y'all thirsty
for something really tasty.
Are you tired of sweet tea?
No, I don't think we ever get
tired of sweet tea, do we?
Or even unsweet tea or sodas or water.
Well, I wanna share with
y'all this easy, easy,
easy recipe that'll just be
a change of pace for you,
especially in this heat,
Eddie and I just walked
out and walked down
to the dock old ways and I'm sopping wet.
Y'all it's like stepping into a crab pot.
Isn't it, Teresa, when you walk out there?
It is truly so hot.
What y'all talking 'bout?
- [Eddie] Nothing.
- Y'all tell me, is it a surprise?
I think Eddie wants a pretty glass.
Is that what you were asking for?
- [Eddie] Yes.
- A pretty glass.
Okay, well let's get started
cause I told y'all how simple it is.
We have got two cups of
frozen pitted cherries.
And you know, cherries are in season now
so you actually could use fresh.
And we're gonna add one cup of sugar.
All right that's a half a cup.
(TV background)
Okay,
and another half a cup.
And we're gonna add, that's
one cup of fresh lemon juice.
- [Theresa] Yes ma'am.
- I didn't see you
squeezing that up, Theresa--
- [Theresa] I promise you, I did.
- I know I'm saying, I
believe you.(laughing)
I believe you, but you
know, that's hard work.
Look what I just did.
That liquid gold.
You know, my eyes, Theresa,
I've lost my depth perception.
- [Theresa] Oh oh.
- Yeah, So I just wasted
some of that wonderful
lemon juice that you worked hard to get.
I'm so sorry.
- [Theresa] Look at this, I
have just a teeny bit left
in here that you can use.
- Oh, yeah, yeah,
I'll take it.(laughing)
I will take it.
I probably spilled a little
bit more than that, but.
Okay, so we're gonna just
blend this.
Yeah, I put more sugar.
(blender motor running)
what you doing Great-Great?
She's doing her exercise.
Don't forget to pick, bend your feet up.
You know, pick your feet up.
(indistinct)
That is so hard.
So Aunt Peggy is under the
care of a physical therapist
three times a week.
So she's doing her mid-afternoon
exercise and we're trying
to bend our legs and walk like this.
When you get all the riders,
you got to try to scoodle off, away.
(blender motor running)
We wanna make sure that
sugar gets dissolved, yall.
(blender motor running)
Eddie!
Eddie!
(speech drowned out by blender motor)
can I have a pretty slice
of lemon to go on top?
And do we have some mint here?
We got some fresh mint here?
(speech drowned out by blender motor)
will be perfect.
Alright, so let's see.
This is a great
machine, Theresa,
for slushies and milkshakes,
things like that.
Great, so in the pitcher it goes.
Make sure all that sugar gets in there.
Alright.
Now we're gonna add five cups
of chilled seltzer water.
And this holds four cups
but we need five cups.
This is gon' be so
refreshing, isn't it, Theresa?
- [Theresa] I think so.
I love cherries so.
- Oh, I love cherries too.
I buy 'em by the bag and I
just keep them on the table.
Is my stuff in your way?
- [Theresa] No.
- Whoah!
Whoah!
Be careful!
Glub, glub, glub, glub, glub.
Whoah.
Eddie, I know I've got a
glass stirrer somewhere.
Do you know?
- [Eddie] No, I don't.
- I know I got one somewhere,
but I just can't remember.
Whoa, that's so pretty.
Oh, thank you.
Eddie got us some mint
and a piece of lemon.
You likin' that chick,
look, look, Theresa,
go over here and see what Selvyn's doing.
(laughing)
Come look.
Oh, I thought you was just
gon' pour 'em in there
and let 'em soak.
No, he is feastin' over here.
Now I've got homemade cookies here.
He is feasting on burnt
cookies with a bowl of milk.
I thought you were gon'
put your cookies in there
and then eat them with a spoon.
That boy's got a--
- where's the spoon?
- Huh?
- Where's the spoon?
It's right here in the drawer.
- Okay, let's do it--
- Let's do it!
Let's do it!
Eat it like cereal.
Yeah.
Yeah, Whoa.
Now don't eat too much
or you'll ruin your,
whatever your next meal is;
supper, lunch, breakfast.
Alrighty,
so here we go.
I'm gonna add a little
bit more ice to this one.
Look at that stuff, is
it not ever gon' go down?
What do they say?
To stir like a carbonated
soda, stick your finger in it
and it'll help it go down.
That doesn't appear to be
working, though, does it?
Oh my goodness.
- Maybe you would pour it
in a little bit slower.
I poured it too fast.
You can see I'm not used to
pouring beer and stuff like that
cause I know you have to
kind of tilt the glass.
But I didn't, I'm not used to.
All right, so here we go.
Aunt Peggy, would you like,
would you like (laughing)
a glass of foam?
- [Aunt Peggy] Yes.
- Okay.
Y'all, I wish y'all had stopped
me from just glub, glub,
glubin' that..
Okay.
- [Aunt Peggy] Here, let me help you out.
- No liquid yet.(laughing)
There, I'm gon' pour some off
in this glass and let's see.
There we go.
Now we've got some liquid coming out.
Well, this sure is pretty.
I think I'm gonna switch glasses, Eddie.
Oh, and this fresh mint, mh, mh, mh.
Doesn't that look refreshing?
It looks so refreshing.
All right, now I'm gonna
pour out the rest--
- [Theresa] Slow.
- The rest of our carbonated water.
- [Eddie] Go have your afternoon drink.
- [Aunt Peggy] Can you
let me go up farther?
- [Eddie] Yeah, go on in.
- Alright, we still don't have--
- I'm moving in on it.
- Okay, there you go.
You take that and I'll see
if I can get some liquid,
You know what?
I'm gon' try to get
some of that foam out
and put it in the rest of the
rest of the carbonated water.
- It's good.
- [Eddie] It's good?
refreshing?
- There we go.
Now, we're gettin' to it.
- And it's real light.
It's light in weight.
- Yay.
Yay.
You know, it's just different.
We drink so much wine, so
much soda, so much tea.
It's just a nice change, isn't it?
- [Theresa] Cherries are good for you.
- They are, aren't they?
What vitamin do they supply?
- [Theresa] I knew you were going to try
to ask me some question like that?
- I don't know if it's C--
- let's guess, I'm gon' say C.
- C, that's what I'd say, too.
- Not that I have any
knowledge of anything like,
- Oh my goodness!
That's wonderful, isn't it?
- Uh huh.
Light.
- It's been a long time
since I tasted this recipe,
but it is so, so good.
And you're right, it's light.
I mean, put a cup of sugar in it but, mh.
Oh, we've forgotten to say cheers.
Bon appetit, y'all.
(laughing) okay.
- [Aunt Peggy] Love it.
- [Paula] I love it.
