Come, Let's make Tea different
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 by Sunrita
A Discovery :-I was asked to make tea one evening.
I poured the water from a bottle that was kept in a line of many other bottles on the rack, the bottle did not have enough water to make tea for five people, so I took some more water from another bottle that stood right next to it...
I prepared it in the usual way...boiling the water, adding sugar, adding the tea leaves (by the way...no milk was added to this)...
It was now time to drink...The first to go was my Baba..after the first sip..he simply looked up at me- His expressions were different...Then my Ma...she started smiling and stood up to investigate..I did not understand what was going on...by now the others were also making faces..(well, happy faces mind you)... Without hesitating, I took My First sip...and to my utter disbelief, the Tea tasted different, unique and above all...really good...
I followed my Ma to the kitchen and we both started to probe...
The first bottle from which I had poured in water, actually contained "Sprite"!!!!!!
Try it out...It gives you real tasty tea...but use water and 7Up or Sprite in 1:1 ratio ( or safer still, keep the quantity of water, more).... and do not forget to give me your feedback...The first sip would surely bring a smile to your face...

Awesome!!!
First let me share my experience. I don't drink tea. So I asked my Mom and Wife to try it. Wife said it was great and Mom just loved it. Thanks! For the first time I gave a recipe to Mom.
Second, Coca-Cola launched Spritea in China under the Sprite brand on March 2010, more than a year after this post. So ... congrats :) !!!
Waiting for more experiments like this.
