To do this place tea light candle on top and trace the perimeter with a sharpie marker. Cut just with in this line and you want to be able to push the tea light candle down into hole for a tight fit so it won’t go into the pumpkin or gourd. Also, this would have to be done in a short time before a party or dinner as once cut the pumpkin or gourd will shrink which will make the tea light go into the pumpkin or gourd.

82b75ea9-8dae-4037-9f6e-fcc8eea9a5b1.jpeg;base64I always enjoy a nice warm glass of tea and I also enjoy different flavors and kinds of teas. I did not know that different types of teas should be steeped at different times to give optimal flavor. I found this chart and read more about it. I had always wondered why sometimes tea just does not taste just perfect and for the most part steeping times were the answer. Weak tea simply was because the time of steeping was too short. Strong and sometimes bitter tea was usually steeped too long. Use this chart and find the perfect steeping time for your favorite tea. This would be a good chart to keep in your recipe box or taped to the inside of a kitchen cabinet for easy reference.

Colored Lemon Slices

lemon party color food dyeWhat an interesting idea for your tea, your child’s sweet drink or party. Fill a small bowl with water enough to cover the number of slices of lemon to be colored and add liquid food coloring drop until it is slightly darker than desired color. Remember the color will be mixed with the natural color of the lemon so it ill not be perfect. Place lemon slices in the bowl of colored water and make sure each slice goes in individually to ensure proper coloring. Do this for each color you water lemons to be dyed to.

You can also use Kool-Aid unsweetened packages to add color in the same way above except to make sure the Kool-Aid is completely diluted first.

Use this in punch bowls, tea, Kool-Aid, lemonade etc.
