Melon, Mint, and Cucumber Iced Tea Recipe
Ingredients:
4 cups of water
2-3 bags of your preferred tea (green tea pairs nicely)
2 cups cubed melon (cantaloupe or honeydew work well)
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
Fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes
Honey or another sweetener to taste (optional)
Melon balls, cucumber slices, and mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
Boil the water in a large pot or kettle. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and add the tea bags. Let them steep for about 3-5 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
In the meantime, blend the melon cubes until smooth. Pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Add the sweetener to the warm tea if desired, stirring until it dissolves.
Allow the tea to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate it until it's thoroughly chilled.
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled tea, melon juice, and cucumber slices. Add mint leaves to taste. Let it infuse for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the infused tea over the ice, making sure each glass gets some cucumber slices and mint leaves.
Garnish with a skewer of melon balls, a slice of cucumber, and a sprig of mint on the rim of each glass.
Enjoy immediately and savor this delightful Melon, Mint, and Cucumber Iced Tea on a warm day!

“So impressive! I didn’t know you were so strong, Nacom.” “ You’re in such great shape, General Attuma! However a little skinny…” “Do you like chicken? I’ll prepare you some from my family’s coop!” “I bet you could carry me so easily…”
That’s quite enough.

The Spirit of Truth
One of the major promises in the Old Testament is that one day the Spirit of God would dwell within the people of God. Previously, the people of God interacted with the presence of God within the temple.
In fulfillment of Scripture, Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit to guide and comfort God’s people. This has big implications. It means that Christians have access to the presence of God by…

And so Dracula is over for another year! I wasn't sure I was going to take part this year, but I'm so happy I did. It's a really rewarding book to re-read, and the format is still a very pleasing way to do it. Special shout out to Re: Dracula for making such a brilliantly produced audio version!
I had a little cry at Quincey's death again, even though I knew it was coming this time, and at the epilogue. I'm going to miss all these characters and their updates!

(CW: explicit talk about internal anatomy/organs
Ough, I love so much when people interpret/draw Per'kele with his guts out. Man literally going around with his organs on show with just the peritoneum working overtime to keep them in place, just trusting that he got the strongest mesentery in town to keep his small intestine from pulling off a ratkin look- *chef kiss* Majestic.)

Summer is coming soon and we want to share this lovely
Watermelon Mint Iced Tea Recipe
Ingredients:
4 cups of water
2-3 tea bags of your choice (green tea or black tea work well)
2 cups fresh watermelon cubes
Fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes
1-2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
Watermelon slices and mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions:
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the tea bags. Allow to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
While the tea is steeping, puree the watermelon cubes in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Remove the tea bags from the pot and add honey or your choice of sweetener while the tea is still warm, stirring until dissolved.
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the chilled tea, leaving some room at the top for the watermelon juice.
Add a splash of watermelon juice to each glass and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a sprig of mint, and a slice of watermelon on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cool, refreshing Watermelon Mint Iced Tea!
