Salum’s Iced Tea

A while back, I opined about my love for Salum’s iced tea. Abraham Salum saw the post, and was kind enough to pass on the basic recipe.

It has oolong Tea Leaves, cinnamon, rose petals and cardamom (that is what
you tasted in it), the rest are very subtle, they just round out the flavor.

Go make some. Now.

I had a lovely dinner at one of Dallas’ finer steak houses last night. After a lovely Caesar, two Berkshire pork chops, and a handful of sweet potato fries, I was served this 7-layer tower of chocolate calories topped with little slivers of shaved chocolate, blueberries, and raspberries.
