 Homemade Iced Tea

6 to 8 tea bags

1 quart hot water (4 cups)

1 quart cold water (4 cups)

1/2 cup sugar or 1/4 cup honey, optional

Get out a 2-quart size sauce pan. Have an adult put the hot water in it and bring it to a boil. Add the tea bags. Let the adult remove the pan from the heat, and allow it to steep for 10 minutes. When the time is up, remove the tea bags. Put the cold water into a 2-quart size pitcher. Pour the hot tea into the pitcher, over top of the cold water. Add the sugar or honey if you like, stirring to dissolve it completely. Put the pitcher into the fridge to cool, or it can be poured directly into an ice filled cup.

Baked Apples

1 apple
½ tablespoon of cinnamon sugar
4 pats of butter

2 sheets (12x12 inches each) of heavy duty aluminum foil

Lay a sheet of foil on a flat, solid surface. Fold up the corners (so the ingredients won’t run out of the foil when you add them). Have an adult cut up bite sized pieces of your apple, and then you can put the pieces in the foil. Next you should add the four pats of butter, and evenly sprinkle the sugar over you apples. Fold the foil up to make a packet by bringing two opposite ends of the foil together and folding the edges over three times to fasten them tightly. Roll up the other open ends a few times. Make sure that all of the ingredients are in the foil at all times, and that there is about an inch of open space as food expands when cooked. Wrap the second sheet of foil around your packet (you need to make sure it’s thoroughly sealed). When your fire is reduced to embers, have an adult move some of the wood aside and settle the foil packets in the embers. Place some embers on top of the packet. The apples should cook in fifteen to twenty minutes. When they start to smell good, have an adult check them.
