I have a set of mason jars as well for drinking sweet tea. There is nothing more refreshing on a hot day than a glass of sweet tea. When the high was 94 the other day I danged near started looking for my coat, after the 109 the week before. Funny how you become acclimated to the heat. Too bad my garden didn't take to well to the heat.
Just about every woman I ever had tried to break me of that mason jar thing. Never ever gonna happen. Dinner glasses just don't hold enough. Of anything... Except maybe kombucha, in which case they hold too much by far, but then I am speaking mainly to potable things.
YEP Sweet tea, forever from a mason jar.
We have had a brilliant year for the garden... Just a touch too much rain with no flooding, and it has stayed lovely thus far this summer. Only two days or so over 90, and the gardens are bursting! We only get one harvest up here, and it is about to commence... Brasicas are about ready, Maters will be in the next 2 weeks, corn, not much after that... Gearing up for all the processing, and case goods and flats coming in at the same time... August BURIES me. But, the pantry and the root cellar will be full to bursting, and I can get back to fishing, and the real work: Hunting.
